This is something I've noticed a lot of people say. ext3, to me, makes sense for a primary data partition that will be mounted a lot and if the machine crashes you'll want the journal there to recover from. I personally never mount /boot except to put a new kernel on so I don't see a reason to use a journaling file system on /boot. For my systems this is what has done me good: /boot ext2 / ext3 I've personally never used reiserfs, and never had a need to, if I ever run out of inodes before I run out of disk space I'll look into it, but until then, I don't see a need to use something other than ext3 for my root partition and ext2 for /boot. -- Scott Paul Robertson http://spr.mahonri5.net GnuPG FingerPrint: 09ab 64b5 edc0 903e 93ce edb9 3bcc f8fb dc5d 7601
