On the weekend I decided to remove the WinServer 2003 from the equation (acting as a file server on a 400Mhz P3), and move the drives to the SuSE server, as well as use a bigger case to hold everything.
So I move all the bits to the other bigger case, add the DMA100/133 IDE controller with the two 250Gig drives, and boot it up. All works well, expect that I keep noticing that after a few reboots, I get a lot of file system rebuilds on the root partition. After a few more reboots, the Reiserfs has taken enough of a beating that it stops half way through tie startup phase.
So I do a repair off the SuSE setup disks, and try again (hoping that it was just a software problem). Nope. Still does it.
