Re: ext2 and reiserfs

2003-03-21 Thread Wesley Parish
I'd prefer to have ext3 instead of ext2 - it's a little safer.

And I'd divide it up this way - / and /usr get reiserfs, since the journal 
only stores meta-data, while for the /var and /home I would give them ext3, 
since that also stores the most recent as-yet-unsaved data as well.

My /boot runs on xfs, not that that's anything worth commenting on - I did 
once experiment with /usr as jfs and it wasn't a complete success at the 
kernel maturity level it was at.

/opt can be anything you like.

Give it a go - ext[23] and reiserfs are a workable pair.

Been doing it for months on SLES7 31-bit.  Reiserfs is not fully supported in some 
functions, but I've never had any problems with it.

They say there are three signs of stress in your life.  You eat too much junk food, 
you drive too fast and you veg out in front of the TV.  Who are they kidding?  That 
sounds like a perfect day to me!

Re: ext2 and reiserfs

No in fact for /boot it is prefered to use ext2 since that partition is
usually less than 64Meg and the journal if I rememebr right on ReiserFS is
like 30meg, besides, the fschk on a small /boot is minimal and it has
nothing like deep queue for mail or such with lots of files.

Regards,


Jon
