> The bit where you use a LiveCD Well, I'll leave the old disk in place for now and just put ext4 on the new disk as /usr/local2. That way I can move from system to system and it is just going to house video files of all sorts. If ext4 messes up, I have the video archived elsewhere. Reiser3 has work flawlessly for me, but, I guess it is time to move on as I prepare for btrfs, CEPH, postgresql9, and other distributed technologies. Trying to download the LiveCD from numerous places around the net I can't seem to get more that 100KB/s. The download failed last night, so I've restarted it. Plenty of disk space on my end. I ran speed tests to my ISP and I get 5M(should be 15M) down and 2M (yipee!) up to a local test server the ISP operates, so that's not the bottleneck. From what I could tell, the net had(ha) problems last night. Many of the mirror I tested last night manually, did not respond for quite a while and the latencies where all over the place (60 -6000) and packet losses where 30-70%. I could have been BrightHouse and their (MPLS) issues, or elsewhere..... Any good recommendations on on the Internet Traffic status? The net looks horrible here: http://www.internettrafficreport.com/main.htm I sure wish mirrorselect, was somehow more dynamic, meaning the download could switch mid-process, to another source, if there was a 50% or so faster download link available. You know some sort of state table maintained on link speeds to my top 12 mirrors close to my net (fastest throughputs). (urely I dream.....) as this download will take 6+ hours (at 120KB/s)... thanks to all for the suggestions, James
