I can't do that if I use ReiserFS, eh? mmm... I must be imagining things. I used ReiserFS on all but a 5MB /boot partition and My freeamp (and xmmm) both work great playing the mp3 files that my grip + notlame ripper combo pulled off my Motzart CDs. Frans List sounds pretty nice too! Holst, The Planets, sounds fabulous! It takes a better ear than I've got do distinguish between what notlame did and the real CD.

Hi all, since I just bought SuSE 7.0 pro, I am thinking to give ReiserFS a try. I read in the README file for xmp3burn that one can record MP3 files only from ext2 partitions because the program must create a FIFO file and it is only allowed in ext2. Actually I don't care too much because I use to burn CD from command line with cdrecord but I am wondering whether there are other programs (I mean important programs...mmh... okay "important" depends on personal opinion ...) which don't work with ReiserFS.

TIA

Hi all, as you know, Red Hat has declared that the Sun Sparc platform will be no supported in future and recently SuSE announce the support of Sparc architecture in 7.0 release. My SS5 at work run now a 6.2 Red Hat (running slightly slow, some minor problems); before the announcement of SuSE, I was thinking to cut-off RH6.2 with a NetBSD solution. Now have some doubts. Any suggestion about, or previous experience with SuSE7 Sparc Edition (from the point of view of stability)? Thanx in advance, Fabrizio.

Hi all, since I just bought SuSE 7.0 pro, I am thinking to give ReiserFS a try. I read in the README file for xmp3burn that one can record MP3 files only from ext2 partitions because the program must create a FIFO file and it is only allowed in ext2. Actually I don't care too much because I use to burn CD from command line with cdrecord but I am wondering whether there are other programs (I mean important programs...mmh... okay "important" depends on personal opinion ...) which don't work with ReiserFS.

I can't see ReiserFS not having FIFO's they are a fairly standard type of file and more things than just xmp3burn would not work without them. Maybe the documentation is out of date.
