It all comes down to what do you want to prioritize here. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
If you want minimal downtimes in case that there's a power source |
| 4 |
failure of any kind, then you probably want ext4 which will give you |
| 5 |
the fastest fsck times. Or, you might want to check into sqashfs on a |
| 6 |
flash drive for your rootfs and use whatever else for writable parts |
| 7 |
(/tmp,/var/log/, etc.), and update only when strictly necessary (GLSAs |
| 8 |
can probably help you there). After all, as someone else said above, |
| 9 |
this machine just needs to do one thing, and do it well. If you plan |
| 10 |
to make stage4/5/6 or whatever the trend is nowadays to name it, you |
| 11 |
don't even need portage or a toolchain in that box, and having it will |
| 12 |
only be a security risk since some rootkits comes in the form of a |
| 13 |
kernel module that needs to be compiled for your specific kernel and |
| 14 |
architecture (eliminating the kernel sources and the compiler you sort |
| 15 |
that out from the very root). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
In any case, the cpu won't be a limiting factor or a bottleneck, |
| 18 |
whatever your definitive choice shall be. |
