Yup, after much muddling, and a few repeats of 'cannot interpret partition |
27 |
name blah', I made a new ext2 partition and mounted it at /vicepa. I'm |
28 |
hoping the ext2 bit it temporary as I'm going to have a bit too much data on |
29 |
some of my afs volumes to run a non-journaling filesystem - does reiserfs |
30 |
work with afs yet? |
31 |
|
32 |
The partition is an LVM logical volume - are there any afs LVM issues I |
33 |
should be wary of? |

Maybe I'll try that kernel later if things continue to not work :) |
