I've run ext3 and ReiserFS on several Thinkpads without any problems at all. > And: How to switch from ext2 to journaling? I have recent mondo/mindi > backups of the machine. But what about booting from it with LILO? LILO works in the same way on ReiserFS(*) and Ext3 as it does on Ext2. For converting your root file system to Ext3 see the large discussion on Debian-devel. (*) Provided you use a recent version of LILO, use the woody version not the Potato version. -- If you send email to me or to a mailing list that I use which has >4 lines of legalistic junk at the end then you are specifically authorizing me to do whatever I wish with the message and all other messages from your domain, by posting the message you agree that your long legalistic sig is void. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
