Ah, okay, that's how you meant it. In that case, you're right. >>>Then maybe I should get rid of lvm2... >> >> No. Get rid of ext*. reiser3 and xfs are mature, use those instead. > > Hm, about half year ago I asked which fs to use.

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. -- [email protected] mailing list
