I've not broken it of /usr, but it's not a bad idea. Using reiserfs is |
| 6 |
highly |
| 7 |
recommended by me, since the tail packing provided by that file system cuts |
| 8 |
down the disk space required by all those small files significantly and it |
| 9 |
still performs quite well. There's no need for redundancy, so raid-0 is a |
| 10 |
win. |

I actually use distfiles mounted over NFS to share with my roommate, and |
| 16 |
putting it on a partition separate from /usr/portage is not a bad idea. |

I don't see why. I'm using reiserfs for all filesystems 'cept /boot, on |
| 23 |
top |
| 24 |
of LVM, which is backed by one software (mdadm) raid-0 set and one hardware |
| 25 |
(arcmsr) raid-5 set. (Different mount points are assigned to one set or |
| 26 |
another, depending on the need for redundancy.) swap is on it's own |
| 27 |
hardware |
| 28 |
(arcmsr) raid-0 set. /boot is on yet another hardware (arcmsr) raid-6 set. |
