Hello |

I am a bit surprised handbook still doesn't suggest people to create a |
4 |
separate partition for /usr/portage tree. I remember my first Gentoo |
5 |
systems had it inside / and that lead to a lot of fragmentation, much |
6 |
slower "emerge -pvuDN world" (I benchmarked it when I changed my |
7 |
partitioning scheme to put /usr/portage) separate and a lot of disk |
8 |
space lost (I remember portage tree reached around 3 GB of disk space |
9 |
while I am now running with 300MB) |
10 |
|

Could handbook suggest people to put /usr/portage on a different |
12 |
partition then? The only doubt I have is what filesystem would be better |
13 |
for it, in my case I am using reiserfs with tail enabled, but maybe you |
14 |
have other different setups. |

Thanks for discussing this :) |
