I plan to do this, but what happens with the PS3 backup?
Can it restore everything to the new PS3 partition ?

Tnx. I have an unused 250G disk, so I planned to put that in and give 100G
to PS3 and the rest for opensuse, but is just a bit worried about how much
the restore really restore, Sony is known for their paranoid anti copy strategy,
and will never give me a chance to feel I have any rights to it at all.

But if you can swap disks, I guess I can always reinstall the old one if I mess
it up.
