ACK. This will also keep fragmentation down and thus performance up. |

For Gentoo, it may be a good idea to put portage stuff on a separate |
| 9 |
partition because it uses tens of thousands of small files that provoke |
| 10 |
fragmentation. On my laptop I have one partition with two directories |
| 11 |
usr-portage and var-cache-edb that are symlinked to the respective |
| 12 |
places in the root FS. |
