Well, that is one of the things I want to change. I have several reasons for wanting to change this mess. One is a file system change and the other is to use LVM for stuff. I basically want LVM for everything but root itself and /boot of course. Right now, /usr is still on the root file system. I have portage on a separate partition tho. So far, reiserfs has not gave me any problems, not OS wise anyway. I did have a large drive that gave me issues but I'm not sure if it was the file system or not, tho it could very well have been. It now has ext4 tho. lol I'm going to beat some sense into this other drive and make a few partitions. I may not do this tonight but then again, I might. ;-) Dale :-) :-) --=20 I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
