quote from SuSE 6.4 Official installation manual "Please do _not_ use ReiserFS together with RAID 1 and RAID 5 software. For hardware RAID solutions there are no such limitations. A ReiserFS partition currently must be at least 34 MB large. "To ensure there are no problems, create a separate boot partition with the ext2 filesystem and install LILO there. This is the standard SuSE Linux configuration." I read this after installing software raid and making mkreiserfs on it. It was working properly but did not recover from a power failure (couldn't test a disk failure ;-) Also LILO does seem to have problems booting from ReiserFS (as discussed earlier in this list) reiserfs pages are available at http://devlinux.com/projects/reiserfs/ together with manual pages. My findings: It is possible to resize an unmounted partition using resize_reiserfs but with some limitations. Size can only be increased if mkreiserfs had been called previously with block count less than that of whole partition. mount -o remount,resize=<more block counts> <mount point> is probably not doing anything. mount shows the resize option in it's output but df does not show any increase in space. Also I cannot write data to the partition after it is 100% full (strange?). So I have a problem: How can I use space left on a partition to add to another mountpoint. (ie. /dev/hda9 on /opt is 800MB /dev/hda10 on /usr is 5GB I want /opt to grow to a maximum of 2GB /usr to be a maximum of 2.5GB and the rest of /dev/hda10 (or whatever it becomes) as /data . Everything is formatted ReiserFS right now) Any suggestions would be great, thanks, Indraneel /*****************************************************************. # Indraneel Majumdar # E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # 4/2 Arobindo Avenue, # URL: http://scorpius.iwarp.com # # Durgapur, India 713204 # Tel: +91-343-563571 # `*****************************************************************/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on the LIH mailing list see: http://lists.linux-india.org/lists/LIH
