These days the entire concept of a cylinder is a mere abstraction to make
tools like fdisk work in a sane manner.
Of course not. The disk is physically organized in cylinders, that's the
structure dictated by the mechanical design.

Hi all! i am running Gentoo in a Dell Inspiron 1420, using XFS as fs for /
and /home, ext2 for /boot, leaving 40 Gb for other things (probably a lvm
to run vms).
I am thinking if i will get better performance mounting /var/tmp/ and/or
/usr/portage in other partition.
Thanks,
Cheers!

I use ext2 for each of these, as it is the fastest filesystem and
journalling isn't needed for filesystems that contain temporary data.
