New subject: [SLE] reiserfs

8 Jan 2001

      I have tried to expand my reiserfs partition many
times using resize_reiserfs to no avail.  Then I 
realized I was trying to use free space which was
not formatted as reiserfs, but as ext2!   :(

By the way, anyone know how to format some
free space as reiserfs...........?    :)

Yes there is:

resize_reiserfs

growing can be done online, without unmounting (though unmounting is 
safer), shrinking offline.

Good luck!

AFAIK, there is not.  When you change the partition sizes you
have to reformat.

May I jump in here and ask a question about Reiser?
Is there an easy way to resize/move reiser partitions, like
Partiton Magic does?

What does the "notail" option do?

I read somewhere that /boot shouldn't use ReiserFS.  Is this
still true?
I don't have a true /boot. I just keep it under /. The
issues that I'm aware of are it needs to be big enough. Second
the way the kernel file was written could cause problems for
lilo. But if you use the notail options in /etc/fstab then lilo
isn't an issue. My understanding is that newer versions of lilo
and reiser don't even have that limitation.
My /etc/fstab looks like:
/dev/hda4       swap                      swap
defaults 0   0 /dev/hda2       /
reiserfs defaults,notail   1 1
/dev/hda6       /var                      reiserfs
defaults 1   2 /dev/hda8       /opt
reiserfs defaults   1   2 /dev/hda10      /usr
    reiserfs defaults   1   2 /dev/hda12      /tmp
reiserfs        defaults   1   2 /dev/hda9       /home
       reiserfs        defaults   1   2 /dev/hda11
/usr/local reiserfs        defaults   1   2 /dev/hda7
/var/spool                reiserfs        defaults   1   2
/dev/hda1       /dos                      vfat
defaults 1   2 /dev/hda5       /dosd                     vfat
defaults   1   2
/dev/hdb        /cdrom                    auto
ro,noauto,user,exec 0   0
/dev/fd0        /floppy                   auto
noauto,user 0   0
none            /proc                     proc
defaults 0   0 # End of YaST-generated fstab lines
So I'm pure reiser.

Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be
"falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific
theories -Marxist dialectical history and Freudian psychology
were Popper's favorites- are formed in such a way that they
cannot be falsified by data.
