The only problem I have with reiserfs is that suse's partition manager doesn't seem to be able to resize a reiserfs partition, which is why I installed with ext3 when I added Suse 10.1
Reiserfs can be resized without even unmounting. If you want to grow a Reiserfs filesystem, you simply increase the size of the underlying volume/partition/whatever, then run resize_reiserfs <device>.
Didn't do it for me. I tried to get the partition manager in Yast to reduce the size of the partition, it wouldn't do it, and then found a number of articles in user groups telling me that others had the same problem and that it couldn't be done because the tools weren't available in 10.1. The problem didn't exist with ext3 partitions. -- Robert Smits, Ladysmith BC Email bob@rsmits.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
