Patrick, my filesystem had enough space. Failing drives has crossed my mind. I have in fact had this problem on three very different systems now, so no drive failures I guess. As Carl seems to suggest, and the fact is, I have been using different FS's on these maschines since OpenSUSE changed to the default ext3. I just wanted to test them all. I will have to change all to one system I think. Is there a way to convert xfs & reiser to ext3 or the other way around?
don't know much about converters. I would format a temporary area and store files while reformatting the original area to whichever format you decide is best for you. There are many opinions and you know about opinions :^)
Which filesystem is best to use nowadays? I have many small files, so which is better and most stable?
I got bitten by reiser some years ago and .... I use ext3 now and will switch to ext4 when it is available.
Is reiserfs still recommendable? It has not given me problems before. Why has OpenSUSE gone away from reiserfs as default?
I believe that support for v3 is lacking and v4 is not ready ?? I have nearly 1.5 TB in 7 hard drives of various sizes and seldom reboot. I have had *no* (fingers crossed) problems with ext3 in the last three years. I'm an *old* horse and hesitate to change :^) gud luk -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
