I don't do anything differently for jfs (reiserfs, for example) than I do with any other file system. The only problem I know about is with grub. Grub supports reiserfs as /boot, but not some other choices. Many people choose to leave a tiny /boot partition as ext2, since you don't write to it very often. -- Collins Richey Denver Area gentoo_rc6 xfce+sylpheed _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
