Hello,
I recently decided to build a new gentoo system for xmas. With this new system, I will be getting a 120GB hard drive. I was contimplating a partition scheme and I would like some advice. Currently, I have this worked out:
/boot ext2 10 MB /var ReiserFS X GB(I was thinking maybe 20? 30? any suggestions?) /usr/portage ReiserFS 5 GB (i read that rfs is good for small files, on the forums it suggested this because of updating the portage cache and most of the files are small, so the process speeds up) I dont think I'm going to want to make a seperate /home or /usr partition, but I was thinking of maybe a 10 GB /root partition on ext3 to store important files. Has anyone compared JFS to ext3? I'm leaning more towards JFS, since I read it does have faster read time. I would make this as my root partition.
I'm trying to get a system that is flexible for future upgrades(the large /var for the /var/tmp dir) and general use. I also want to be able to squeeze as much speed out of this as I can; thats why I'm using ReiserFS in the /var and /usr/portage. Any comments and suggestions are welcome. I want to get something set up once, I dont want to go back and have to resize partitions. Thats why I'm overestimating the size of my partitions, to allow room for future storage.
Thank You
Thomas Richards
