The biggest problem, and it is unacceptable, is that I could not get 9.2 to format my partitions as ReiserFS. 9.0 and 9.1 could. SuSE 9.0 could. 9.2 would error out almost immediately as soon as it tried to format any partition as ReiserFS. I got stuck with ext3 (yech!). Because I am not happy with my partition scheme and a few other problems - like not setting my /var partition large enough - I will be reinstalling 9.2 once again on this system. It looks like I will need to first start installing 9.1 or SuSE again so I can get my HDD partitions formatted as ReiserFS and then terminate the install and then start an install with the 9.2 CDs and elect NOT to format any partitions.
Has anyone else run into a similar problem with 9.2 and ReiserFS?
I frequently get problems with formatting partitions as reiserfs. When using mkreiserfs, there is a message to reboot after using fdisk, which I tend to think is related. At least, in every case that was a problem for me, after creating partitions and choosing to format reiserfs in diskdrake, the partitions are not formatted as reiserfs. What I do is reboot, usually do a mkreiserfs on the command line, and all works after that. I have done this during an install, also, after creating partitions, reboot, and I believe diskdrake will do the reiserfs format at that point. The install can then be completed.
