with what sort of file system do I want to format the external HDD?
I have a USB Maxtor external hard drive formatted with reiser. It is working great with SuSE.
If I am to back up dual-booted computers (Linux & M$) must I use a file system other than Reiser or if I intend to move the files back and forth only within Linux is that not a concern?
What part about the earlier answer quoted (in full) below is it that you do not understand? * Felix Miata <xx@xx.xx> [06-11-04 12:17]:

Quick question re. below data -- with what sort of file system do I want to format the external HDD?
Reiser, FAT, Swap, Ext2?
I am sitting here with Partitioner open under YaST and do not want to make a big mess of things!
AFAIK, the answer to this should be no different from any other MSD. If only SuSE is to use it, then use the same FS as you use for /. If you need access from windoze, then pick an appropriate M$ filesystem.
