I actually don't think that for the lfs root partition that ext4 will get you much over an ext3 partition. 10 GB is way more than needed and ext4's advantages are primarily the ability to manage very large partitions and files. There's nothing wrong with creating a separate /home with a very large partition. I use a 100MB ext2 partition for /boot, so you can mix/match as much as you want. You do need the capability for each partition type built into the kernel. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
