I'm not sure; basic filesystems per partman are ext2, swap, and FAT. I don't think we want to be that restrictive, and I don't think partman-basicfilesystems should have to have knowledge of ReiserFS, XFS, JFS, or whatever either. Maybe partman-target or something? -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
