I think that Ethan is a bit generalizing this time. OK reiserfs might not be the best choice, ext3 is not here yet.. But there is also XFS and i think that it's 10 years or so of developement should be taken under consideration (i don't know how long it's been developed i just remeber some saying something about 10 years). XFS 1.0 is out there and it integrates and compiles cleanly (at least with APUS tree which is somewhat based on BK i think). All the tools are there and since 1.2.5 work on PPC too. Just give it a try =o)) Patching kernel source with XFS is not hard =o) Right now i'm using both XFS and reiserfs (each on partition around 7g) i had one crash so far and was really amazed (fscking these partitions under ext2 always took ages.. my Amiga has only PIO-0 mode IDE interface...) > > i would suggest splitting up your partitioning. that is really the > best thing you can do. your / should be 64MB, have a seperate /tmp, spliting up partitions is always best thing... regardles of filesystem in use.. > /usr, /var, /home and maybe /usr/local if you use it alot. keep /usr i would split /usr/src (if ones is planning lots of (re)compilation)
as for making apt to remount rw before and ro after upgrading put this DPkg::Pre-Invoke {"mount -o remount,rw /usr";}; DPkg::Post-Invoke {"mount -o remount,ro /usr";}; DPkg::RunDirectory "/"; in /etc/apt/apt.conf or put it in some file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d -- Robert Ramiega | [EMAIL PROTECTED] IRC: _Jedi_ | Do not underestimate UIN: 13201047 | http://www.plukwa.net/ | the power of Source
