I'd compile both. In my own case I used ext3 with Roswell and also with 7.2 and had problems. I kept getting corrupted squid cache. It always happened on ext3, and always 2-3 days after setting /var as ext3. I could delete it and recreate it, then restart squid, wait 2-3 and get the same corruption again. It happened at full install and selecting ext3. It happened at upgrade and migrating to ext3. Every time I put /var back to ext2, the problem disappeared (after recreating the cache again, that is) and didn't come back. I haven't seen any reports from anybody with this or anything else wrong with it. But, I fully expected it to work well precisely because I wasn't hearing any bad reports. As always, YMMV. I'd personally play it safe since it doesn't hurt anything to keep it around, and it's a lot easier to undo a problem if the kernel supports it already. -- Who messed with my anti-paranoia shot? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
