thanks! here is my mandriva fstab:
Code:
# Entry for /dev/sda1 :
UUID=12ea5e5d-de8c-4b5f-91be-cce9949ab3ce / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# Entry for /dev/sda5 :
UUID=55e6f13c-d179-426b-8bb5-0805fc78c1d4 swap swap defaults  0 0

If you compare your SUSE fstab before and after the modification suggested by {BBI}Nexus{BBI} with the fstab for mandriva, then I think you should be able to work out the answer all by yourself ;)

Your motivation for noatime is correct, but why do you use a journalling filesystem in that case? Wouldn't it be better to use ext2?

theacerguy 08-31-2009 02:20 AM
true it probably would have been better to use ext2 rather than 3 and 4 (and no swap!) i think i might reinstall
