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...........? :) Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Cleary UNIX Qualification and Commands Data General, a Division of EMC2 62 T.W.

Good luck!

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

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.
