I have tried YaST, not YaST2, because the latter could not even see the

It is the same program:

nimrodel:~ # which YaST
/sbin/YaST
nimrodel:~ # l /sbin/YaST
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Sep 10 2008 /sbin/YaST -> yast2*

However, yast2 knows that if you call it as yast from a terminal it is because you want ncurses mode instead of graphical.


Now it seems that I have to choose another file system, and even though
I generally use Reiser on Linux Ext3 may be better if it is easier to
access it from several operating systems.

I have huge problems with reiserfs over USB on openSUSE 11.0 specifically. 11.0 or 10.3 are fine.

You could also try two 500 GB FAT partitions instead.

However, I don't think that is the problem, fdisk should not care about the partition size: it would be mkfs who would complain later. You can try formatting as ext3 temporarily to determine if FAT is the problem here.


FUSE and NTFS-3G are now providing full access to NTFS partitions. NTFS is
far more efficient than FAT, and does not have the 4G file size limitation
that prevents large media files, such as DVD isos, from being saved on them.

I found that setup very CPU intensive, when I tried it. At least, much more intensive than any other partition type I have tried.
