Dear Sir or Ma'am: I am interested to think about implementing EXT3 onto my servers here. However, I have some concerns and am hoping someone can address them. 1) If I install ext3 what is the likelihood that the extent of damage caused by its bugs will be limited to just the fact that the journals may not work properly? Alternatively, do I risk real damage to files and the filesystem at

I've read through some archives on the users mailing list and found some answers to getting Wine 20020122 going. I didn't have to change much with the default way tools/wineinstall.

Dr. Tweedie, et al.: I have decided to move to EXT3 from ReiserFS if I can get tail packing for EXT3. Last I had asked about it, someone had written some sort of patch but it was not official (I think), and was questionable if it had worked or not. Can someone tell me the status in the instant?

Now the partition was setup to be 16GB via fdisk, so 16GB is correct. However, why does EXT3 loose 2GB of space? The journals cannot be that big!?! Very Respectfully, Stuart
