I use ext3 primarily because it's broadly supported. If the fecal matter hits the rotary device and I want to be able to read the drive on another machine, or boot with a different install or repair disk, anything with ext2 support can read ext3, even though of course you won't have the journalling support. Granted, I made this decision a few years ago and maybe support for reiser etc. is more common now. Also, I tend to build my own kernels and streamline them for only what I use, which affects this decision. -- monique Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
