I've been lurking on this list for a while, running a couple of hardened |
| 23 |
servers, and the Gentoo guidelines for servers suggest reiser as the fs. |
| 24 |
I guess my couple of questions are, |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
1) What does what SUSE's interest in reiser have to do with anything? |
| 27 |
(Serious question here, not an attempt at a troll, I really am curious |
| 28 |
as I don't follow along very closely) |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
2) Is there anything other than backing up a partition, and mkfs'ing to |
| 31 |
a different format? I.E. some type of conversion utility for |
| 32 |
reiserfs->other format? |
