Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: 76f864ba-7530-45f7-b546-08674e0352cd X-Archives-Hash: c719c957b45de3e3934f20bc88d89f32 Hi, just out of curiosity: is it possible to use ext4/ext3 filesystem even for separate /boot partition? For /boot I'm still using ext2, but a friend of mine is just doing installation and asked me what filesystem he should use, so I told him not to complicate things and simply use ext4 for all. But now I'm not so sure if he is able to boot his new fresh gentoo-system at the end?
