The only option to get 11.0 on ext4 is to install on another filesystem and then copy it to the ext4 partition. Sorry, it was to early when I wrote that. Of couse you can chnage ext3 to ext4, too.

In 11.0 there is basic support ( kernelmodule and utilities) for ext4 but no support for installation on ext4. Will there be support for installation on ext4 in 11.1 ? Or is ext4 still considered too unstable ?

We're doing a massive redesign of the partitioner for 11.1 and I'm not sure whether we can add ext4 support. The kernel and base tools will support it, so installing on ext3 and running tune2fs is one option,

What about adding some text to the new partitioner page briefly outlining how to do this? e.g. "Ext4: Not currently available in this partitioner tool - please select ext3 and, after installation, run tune2fs option option to convert." -- Cheers Richard. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

It's a wiki - go ahead ;)

I can't find it on the OpenSuSE site - have you a link please?

AFAIR: tune2fs -E test_fs /dev/sd... and then change fstab to use ext4dev for the partition

I'll start with that, then try it myself... -- Cheers Richard. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I'm afraid this is more or less pointless ;-) Most people run the partitioner once - at installation. And at this time it isn't that easy to open a browser and read the wiki page ;-) (at least when installing from DVD, the live CDs obviously differ) If there are important things that users should know before doing the partitioning, please include them directly in the help text.

We don't even support ext4 for 11.1 in the base tools. What we have now is basic support for ext4dev, this is basically ext4 with the test_filesystem flag set in the sb. This means it is intended for TESTING currently. As long as the kernel module is named ext4dev and *not* ext4 it does not make any sense to provide any enhanced user space support (like Yast). mkfs.ext4dev and fsck.ext4dev tools are now available in the e2fsprogs package.
