As said, use LVM
Used it fist time last week on a 32bits machine, not much experience with it, but some people advise me to use it, just like now.
with lvm+reiser you can enlarge them on-the-fly, but have to unmount them for shrinking
How do you move apartition that is large enough? You shrink the one that is behind it, and then? Can you perform these tasks while the data is on it?
Seconded, though my preference is for ext3 - downside is the annoying tendency to do a full check just when you least want it, but on the plus side it seems more tolerant of dirty umounts
ext checks every 2 month's...reiser checks everything very thouroughly after hang or crash..
Have a nice day,
Same to you, Final remark, for small partitions (<100MB) use ext3, not reiserfs
Surely you mean ext2?
for /boot ext 2 is allright..;-)
And for those that never change (usr, opt) journaling is not needed.
maybe they did not change in the past, but since 10.2, /usr is growing...(where does it stop? How big should it be made to have room enough, and not to much.., same for /var, changed the size since 10.0 3 times: too big, made smaller, now in 10.2 it is allready too small, To make seperate /var/log is a very good idea ;-)
A good point, though presumably journalling has little effect on read performance so the main effect is a small loss of capacity.
I thought ext3 was the default now on OSL? FWIW, I'd like to see LVM by default too.
Since reiser is accused of murdering his wife, nobody maintains the fs.. :-(
Final comment - if changes are made to the YaST partitioner, could I propose a 'newbie' (simple) mode button:
defaults when set: swap plus single / ext3 partition; defaults when unset: LVM, separate /boot (ext2), /home (ext3), swap, ...
It could as well suggest all needed partitions, in the proper size :-) - -- Have a nice day, M9. Now, is the only time that exists.
