Ok I need to get stuff of a DVD that I put the ext2fs filesystem on. Probem is Mandrake will not let me mount the thing. I made the DVD about a year ago. I had to D/L a ext2fs tar file to do this ...

The site says that ext2fs demo will only allow read and nothing over 1GB.<BR><BR>I personally have a USB HD that I like to take to work and would rather run ext3 then fat32 just so I can access it ...

I made an identical copy of /usr/local on ext2fs and tried it again. It worked. I have no idea why I can’t execute the file from /usr/local/bin if it is a reiserfs partition.

Reiserfs is a journaling file system that claims to be more efficient than the de facto standard ext2fs file system at handling many small files and just as efficient as ext2fs in other cases.
