I think the implication was that you can change the fs just by changing an fstab entry. Is that true?
no. If you do that and are not too experienced this could just render your system unusable and finally lead you to destroy your self your data
Also, while we're on the subject, is Reiserfs the hands-down better, faster, more reliable-in-both-ordinary-and-extreme-situations,
if such a good for all file system exists, anybody could know :- Reiser is very good, supports gently power brakes, but fails sometimes. The more visible drawback is a very hudge journal (more than 50mb) making it completely unusable for small partitions like /boot. For smalll (<1Gb?) part, ext2 is probably still the better. xfs is said (by itself) the better choice for very heavy load systems. problem is nobody I know have really the necessary knowledge to make a real choice and this probably mean that ext3, reiser, xfs, jfs (do I forget one?) are all very good file systems. ext (2 and 3) and may be reiser are accessible directly from windows, with suitable utility. This may be a + or a - :-) jdd -- pour m'écrire, aller sur: http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.net http://arvamip.free.fr
