I've been using XFS since it became available in Mandrake and I've never been happier! I haven't tried ext3 (which maybe invalidates my opinion), but I know that SGI has been around for years and their product has had the time to mature. In other words, I've not had any problems with it and I have it on all partitions except /boot on all my linux boxes (4 including my laptop).

[Cooker] OpenPGP key specification in kmail not working
Hi First of all - I'm not reporting this in bugzilla, as the latest package listed for kde-network in "Enter Bug" is 3.0.3-15mdk. I would suggest that if you want people to report bugs with bugzilla and not on this mailing list, that you keep bugzilla up-to-date. A simple script that monitors changes to the cooker RPM repository should do. Problem: kdenetwork-3.1-0.beta1.3mdk kmail 1.4.7 When trying to set an OpenPGP key as the one associated with an identity, I get the error message: "You either don't have GnuPG/PGP installed or you chose not to use GnuPG/PGP." I do have gnupg installed: [sndbx@localhost sndbx]$ rpm -q gnupg gnupg-1.0.7-3mdk Reproduced bug with kmail started in console, here's the output: - [sndbx@localhost sndbx]$ kmail: ### ### ### parseMsg(KMMessage* aMsg == aMsg, bool onlyProcessHeaders == false ### ### kmail: *no* first body part found, creating one from Message kmail: -> Inserting Root Node into the Mime Part Tree kmail: Inserting one item into MimePartTree kmail: Content-Type: text/plain kmail: <- Finished inserting Root Node into Mime Part Tree kmail: ** ** KMReaderWin::parseObjectTree( node OK, showOneMimePart: FALSE ) ** ** kmail: * text * kmail: plain kmail: default kmail: KMMsgEncryptionState: 78 kmail: KMMsgSignatureState: 78 kmail: KMReaderWin - finished parsing and displaying of message. khtml (part): DONE: 119 QString::arg(): Argument missing: C&ustom (Shift+F1 for help), (null) kmail: IdentityPage::setup() kmail: IdentityPage::slotIdentitySelectionChanged( 0x85a2430 ) kmail: slotFontSelectorChanged() called kmail: Profile manager: found 5 profiles: kmail: CryptPlugTab::setup(): found 0 CryptPlugWrappers. libkdenetwork: Kpgp: pgpBase is dummy -- Just out of interest, in future for bugs like these, should cooker testers rather send bug-reports to kde or mandrake?

Plus, there are a few additional features like 'Search and Replace' in nano which I don't think pico has. Also, in pico you need to explictly turn on the useful options via the command-line. Why they have you do this I don't know.

Not unless you can show it's a bug in cooker as well. I'd say released version reports are probably okay up until the point when cooker is unfrozen again (because cooker is the release version at that point). But once it unfreezes cooker changes rapidly. However, I'm not sure that you problem has anything to do with software. Could just as easily be a hardware issue.

[Cooker] BUG: panel configuration options missing
Problem: Previously, in order to resize, position, or alter a panel, one would right click on the panel and select configure. With the release of the kdebase-3.1-0.beta2.2mdk package this ability has diappeared. Quick Fix: It would seem that the file /usr/share/applnk/Settings/LookNFeel/panel.desktop is not complete as /usr/share/applnk/Settings/LookNFeel/panel_appearance.desktop is. 1) Using menudrake and selecting default KDE menus will restore the proper desktop item. 2) Calling "kcmshell panel" from a prompt will also yield the tools you are after. Solution: Unknown. I would speculate that the contents of the panel.desktop file is not up to par with what needs to be in it. I'll leave that up to those in the know. :) -- Regards, Deryk Robosson Robosson Business Services 22 Flemington Street Albany, WA 6330 ABN: 56 728 377 499 Phone: +61 4 0842 9835 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Since we got ACL support for ext3, they are mostly similar in features, except: 1)Intermezzo doens't work with XFS yet, but then again I haven't managed to compile intersync ... 2)XFS has xfsdump, which keeps all metadata, including ACLs. But, since amanda can't span tapes, this doesn't really help us, since our tapes are smaller than the partitions we need ... 3)Quotas might work better in XFS, but I haven't tested that enough ... (ie from a windows box via samba). I have seen the odd file corruption in XFS when the power dies, usually the kdmrc gets mangled if yuo have root or /usr on XFS and the power dies, but if you have a UPS (which we do on our servers, but not on my home machine), it shouldn't be a problem. I don't think there is much between them performance-wise.
