I'm afraid that the two partitions that I'm planning to change it's filesystems from ext2 to ReiserFS are my /home and /var partitions. My /home partition has the biggest size of all the other partitions (almost 80% of the hard disk capacity) and second to it is my /var (which I think occupies 10% of the hard disk capacity). What should I do then? I just read from http://www.namesys.com/install.php about on how can I switch or use ReiserFS to a 2.4 based kernel. I'm still using the default kernel of Debian Woody, 2.2.20(?) and I still need to download the newest stable kernel this afternoon. Should I follow the INSTALL HOWTO of ReiserFS from it's site? This is just for my test server using an Intel Pentium 4 1.6 Ghz at 512 DDR RAM machine. It's my preparation for the new SunFire 280R machine which I might use Debian Woody for Sparc instead of Solaris 8 or 9. Thanks again. --- MARVIN T. PASCUAL E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel.
