I read somewhere that /boot shouldn't use ReiserFS. Is this still true?
I don't have a true /boot. I just keep it under /. The issues that I'm aware of are it needs to be big enough. Second the way the kernel file was written could cause problems for lilo. But if you use the notail options in /etc/fstab then lilo isn't an issue. My understanding is that newer versions of lilo and reiser don't even have that limitation. My /etc/fstab looks like: /dev/hda4 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults,notail 1 1 /dev/hda6 /var reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda8 /opt reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda10 /usr reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda12 /tmp reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda9 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda11 /usr/local reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda7 /var/spool reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda1 /dos vfat defaults 1 2 /dev/hda5 /dosd vfat defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb /cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,user 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 # End of YaST-generated fstab lines So I'm pure reiser.
