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.
No, it's a bug/limitation in the yast partition module. The tools are there, I've done it numerous times since quite a number of SUSE versions. Actually, you can't do that with ext3 (not while the partition is mounted). cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFb3c8r3NMWliFcXcRAhuEAKCUl8UkddyK70LNyp2OUFbw4z3VsACaAh7i 9nfoZebox8YdW9q5nPZwwNM= =UDZn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
