It may be safer if you use the Partitioner module of YaST2 to create ext3 file systems on these partitions.
Thanks for that info. They are now ext3. Strange problem though, If I designate them as ext3 in fstab, when I reboot, the boot fails with fsck complaining about them. Then I have to go back into fstab and restore them to "auto". Works this way, but curious as to why.
How did you create them? Write a recipe how to reproduce the problem. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
