Switched to XFS/Switched to Zsh/Now Screwed

Post by Pu-239 »

I switched to XFS since reiserfs+acl patches break group execute permissions by tarring up everything onto my nuked windows partition which had been converted to ReiserFS for this purpose, since FAT32 cannot handle files greater than 4GB. Unfortunately I forgot to include /mnt/down_stored, so now all my sisters' MP3s are lost- 2GB of them, which takes ages to search and download on dialup.

On good news- I've replaced Bash with Zsh and ash for running the scripts(ash is faster, and debian requires all scripts to be posix compliant, meaning I can use it for /bin/sh. Zsh has lots of nice features, though is somewhat bloated- contains an FTP client for example. Also includes prompt themes-

which are nice, but I use my own setup anyway, which looks something like this:

Fortunately the ftp client and themes are implemented as modules.
