Only that it reduces the number of inodes needed by mounting/tmp on a ramfs. =20 > What's the best fs for a 4G SSD? I picked ext3 because of another eee > forum post. I found the best way to deal with the Eee 900's two drives was to create a small root partition (I used 200M) and swap on sda. Then make the rest of sda and all of sdb into an LVM volume group. I still use ext3 for /, but it contains so little that inodes are not an issue. You definitely want to get /usr/portage, $PORTAGE_TMPDIR and $DISTDIR off the root partition. --=20 Neil Bothwick Life is just one BIG beta test cycle --Sig_/CKrUyFklAC3ocJqmOenvk12 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkogPfcACgkQum4al0N1GQOiEwCfQOwxOYXnC0LQQKFR5NAOQDGR yg0AoLaWKgYTLPk+vs1Q1KOsS4f4/bBs =fvCr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/CKrUyFklAC3ocJqmOenvk12--
