(yes i know about the unofficial reiser patch, it needs testing first)). then if you create the rest of your partitions strategecly you can backup say /var to /home, mkxfs /dev/var, recopy /var back, then do the same with /usr and such. > Two: XFS or Reiser? i would go for xfs, but personally i would wait a bit, let them stabelize a bit more (especially if you go reiser, its still very buggy). -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
