Ah, okay, that's how you meant it. In that case, you're right. |

Did I vote? If not, I probably would not have voted for |
| 23 |
ext*. Well, actually, I *DO* use ext*. ext2 for /boot and |
| 24 |
ext3 for /, as those are FS, which I will close to never ever |
| 25 |
resize. |

Well, ext3 *CAN* be resized online, with the appropriate |
| 35 |
patches. Would I recommend that? No, I wouldn't, because |
| 36 |
I have got no experience with those patches. For the same |
| 37 |
reason, I wouldn't recommend to NOT use it. |
