I am running out of space on this drive. I know I can just add another drive to the system and use cp to move the contents of /home as root But I want to know since this is not a install what file system would be best for the new /home ? I have heard some good things abour reiser file system do to with journaling and recovery. I forrmatted the partition when I created it on another system which had a windows utility just to be sure the drive was ok.
What I am unsure about is all the command line switches for mkreiserfs and weather I should use the defaults manually or use yast partitioner.
I've never used more than "fdisk /dev/hdd" and "mkreiserfs /dev/hdd1" e.g, You could also do it via YaST with the same result. Regards Sid. Yast worked just fine. Strangely the bios did not see the drive but yast partitioner did and all I did was reformat it to reiserfs and copy recursively as root from /home then fix fstab. Curious thing I am still having mail retreival problems for the primary user which is why I answer this online. CWSIV
