Consider using reiserfs for /usr/portage. No real performance advantage |
| 5 |
over ext[234], but works well with lots of small files and there's no |
| 6 |
inode count to worry about. |

In my experience the main downside of reiserfs is that fsck.reiserfs is |
| 9 |
almost never able to recover cleanly if the filesystem metadata does get |
| 10 |
corrupted in a non-trivial way. But for the portage snapshot this isn't |
| 11 |
really a problem... |
