Besides, I doubt if ext4 will never make into openSUSE:
- lack of customer requests.
- doesn't really meet any needs that cannot be handled by other  file systems in the distro
- Novell QA is not testing ext4 nor are any of Novells partners.
- If you run into a problem with ext4, there is no support available from the openSUSE kernel maintainers.
Oy! Where did you learn how to be sarcastic, eh? :-D
Hi Basil it wasn't really meant as sarcasm, I just couldn't help it. Still, I'm curious - what do you see in ext4? As in - what will it bring that is really missed in filesystems today? The max filesize (1024 Petabytes I think it is) - it'll be a while before I foresee any serious demand, even with harddisk sizes growing exponentially. JFS is maxed out at 32 Petabytes today - for my own professional needs, that's unlikely to ever become a real show-stopper :-) Whilst on the subject of filesystems, I'd much rather see Suns ZFS in openSUSE, but I've been told there's some sort of licensing issue? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - your spam is our business. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
