2.1 EVMS2 Is Deprecated
The Enterprise Volume Management Systems (EVMS2) storage management solution is deprecated.
All EVMS management modules have been removed from the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
packages. Your EVMS-managed devices should be automatically recognized and managed by Linux
Volume Manager 2 (LVM2) when you upgrade your system. For more information, see
Storage and Volume Management in SUSE Linux Enterprise (http://www.novell.com/linux/
volumemanagement/strategy.html).
For information about managing storage with EVMS2 on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, see the
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3: Storage Administration Guide (http://www.novell.com/
documentation/sles10/stor_admin/data/bookinfo.html).
2.2 Ext3 as the Default File System
The Ext3 file system has replaced ReiserFS as the default file system recommended by the YaST
tools at installation time and when you create file systems. ReiserFS is still supported. For more
information, see
File System Future Directions (http://www.novell.com/linux/techspecs.html?tab=0)
on the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 File System Support Web page.
