Maybe I'm confused here. Some of what you wrote indicates that you're creating a new news partition, some of it that you're not and are just converting /var to a ResiserFS.
Or are you creating a new partition with a ReiserFS for /var/spool/news *AND* converting /var itself to a ResiserFS?
I am only converting complete /var to ReiserFS and keep the same size for /var. I do not want to make some extra partition for /var/spool/news if that is possible (btw. that worked for SuSE 10.3 and ext3). So going back to ext3 for /var would be another options as I assume that SuSE 12.1 handles /var the same way as SuSE 10.3 with ext3(correct?). Other possible problem: does gpart have the same options for ReiserFS as SuSE 12.1? Otherwise I will get into funny trouble...
In all of the above I'd strongly suggest reading the man pages and googling around to clarify anything you're not clear about BEFOREHAND.
Now you know why I'm experimenting with a single FS using BtrFS and nothing else: no /boot; no worries about merging / and /usr; no worries about inode/data ratios; no worries about barriers.
Yes but btrfs is still very experimental afaics. Thanks in advance -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
