Let me optimize that for you a little bit more: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
A single 1T reiser3 partition mounted at / |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
This will optimize away the small performance loss introduced by that (empty) |
| 44 |
/ on ext2 |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Seriously dude, this looks like a dumb scheme that gives you warm and fuzzies |
| 47 |
but doesn't actually accomplish anything except increased complexity. |

Feel free to publish verifiable metrics to back up your case. |
