As root: 1. umount /windows 2. rmdir /windows 3. mkdir /data 4. mkreiserfs /dev/hdb1 5. edit /etc/fstab (if you don't know the vi editor run the program "vimtutor" NOW; it will teach you how to use vi in 40 minutes) so that the line that looked something like this: /dev/hdb1 /windows vfat user,umask=0000 0 0 looks like: /dev/hdb1 /data reiserfs defaults 1 2 (It doesn't have to be tabs between the words, spaces will do.) 6. mount -a Done! No need to reboot, upgrade to SuSE Servicepack 12p or anything suchlike. Isn't UNIX marvellous? Anders -- Heavy, adj.: Seduced by the chocolate side of the force.
