This is a Gentoo list. OP asks about Gentoo. Anyway. It'll be hard to find a recent distribution, which does NOT support all of the available "standard" filesystems (Reiser 3, XFS, ext2, ext3, JFS and maybe even Reiser 4). As far as age is concerned: What's older? XFS or ext2? > I'm sure there are good arguments for using Reiser, XFS, JFS, etc, but I > haven't gotten comfortable enough about them to make the switch away > from ext2/ext3. Why not? Are there any facts, that makes you think so? -- Alexander Skwar -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
