Perhaps I should have mentioned this earlier..... I have recently (past several months) tried reiser4 and had a complete failure. This was while using the underground-desktop Linux distro: a derivative of arch-Linux. Anyways, I found it somewhat curious that the distro's head honcho ALSO decided (without ANY of my input BTW,) to forgo reiser4 and switch to reiser3 (due to unexpected problems/behavior) at about the same time I had my partition "disappear" after a controlled and planned "shutdown -h now". <- Please note this was not due to using the "tools". So....you all have been warned. Twice now from me as well as from others. "Buyer beware" ya'll Very best regards; Bob Finch _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
