Thanks for the test, I needed to know that. I run ext3 here with Ubuntu 
and the same with my main install of Debian.

I did find that chattr can work with reiserfs, but needs a lot of help. 
Not worth it.


If you run pump you can create a config and tell it not to overwrite. If

edited the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf file to get my name server running
