Tom,
What is the reason you make /boot ext3? I do everything reiserfs is this wrong?
Thanks,
Tony.
Because Civileme told me too ;) If you don't know, Civileme was a Mandrake employee who use to be a regular on this list. His job was QA, and as part of that he did extensive file system testing.
He recommended XFS or ReiserFS, but cautioned that /boot should be on an ext3 partition. I never did understand exactly why tho, I just trusted his advice.
Strange, your original reply hasn't got through to me yet, but Tony's reply to it and your reply to him did. So I'm replying here...
I didn't think it relevant but I do indeed have a separate partition for /boot that is 100 MB, formatted ext2. I have a single swap partition that is 500 MB. That should be okay, right?
