1. Go into single user mod. 2. Delete below /var/spool/news 3. Back up /var 4. unmount /var 5. Run mkfs.resiserfs on the /var/partition 6. Change the /var entry in /etc/fstab 7. Remount /var 8. Restore /var 9. Go to multi user mode 10 Start news
Does this also work on a SSD with reiserfs and /var/spool/news ?
The LOGIC of the above procedure will work for any file system, not just reiserFS. Will it work for var/spool/news ? It will work for any sub-tree you want. I've done it for /usr/lib/ruby and /usr/lib/perl5 and /usr/share among others. Where a partition gets mounted is just an entry in /etc/fstab and has nothing to do, other than the values in the fields, with the where or FS or source. RTFM.
Any precautionary measure when using reiserfs on a SSD?
I've not used SSD. On this point Id advise 'Go Google". Its one of the reasons I'm experimenting with BtrFS. The bad thing about BtrFS is that there is a lot of old and out of date articles on the Net-of-a-Million-Lies saying its experimental and unstable. Big Deal. At one time so was ext4 .... and ext3 for that matter if you go back far enough! I'm finding BtrFS quite stable. The problems I'm having with it are problems with my limited understanding. -- Telling the future by looking at the past assumes that conditions remain constant.
