Well, actually, I *DO* use ext*. ext2 for /boot and ext3 for /, as those are FS, which I will close to never ever resize. > Nobody mentioned that > reiserfs can be resized on-line, I must have missed that thread back then :) > ext3 not (only off-line). Well, ext3 *CAN* be resized online, with the appropriate patches. Would I recommend that? No, I wouldn't, because I have got no experience with those patches. For the same reason, I wouldn't recommend to NOT use it. Alexander Skwar -- There are never any bugs you haven't found yet. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
