Quite true. I've had this happen to me on a 160 gig drive which was quite full. It took forever. I went back to reiserfs. All the stories about the beauty of "Open Source" were proven wrong by Suse's dropping Reiserfs because a) nobody was maintaining it, and b) hans got thrown in the slammer, and c) it doesn't "scale well". The fact that it was good enough for 5 generations of Suse before they decided to revert to something clearly inferior on the weight of three lame excuses seems to fall on deaf ears. Reiserfs has been rock stable for me for years, I've never lost any data with it, but I have with ext2 and fully expect to with ext3. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
