well, still running some old suselinux 10.1 virtual machines because of propertery software. no way to upgrade, because it stopped working sometimes during updates of this 10.1 version. so i have to get sometimes access to this machines. and as i remember correct reiserfs was automatically selected during install. so if its possible to get access with grub2-mount its fine for me.
In fact you can just use the 10.1 machine itself and transfer it via network.
Not really, to do not touch the system itself from its original installation, i use always the not started virtual image (i call it a "0" image) and mount this to my actual tumbleweed to make changes. in this way i have always the security all files are untouched. after some time / some crashes i always start again using a copy of my "0" image and have not to care that something in background would be / was destroyed / manipulated. (have had bad crashes at this image maybe because of the reiserfs or other problem when suddenly the virtual machine was killed by host.) simoN -- www.becherer.de ----------------------------------------------- - Das ist die vorlaeufig endgueltige Version! - Herbert C.
