I agree. > If you're running an average desktop system, simply choose ext3, xfs or > reiserfs(with "notail").

However, encoding and reiserfs are both CPU intensive, so XFS may still be a better choice. [In fact, I have yet to see a benmarks pitting reiserfs4 directly against xfs or jfs.] -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
