Mick, that's what I was wondering. |

No evidence either way, that I could find |
10 |
so I decided to make everything ext4. |

Yea, sure, but that's not the point. I just wanted to |
18 |
use ext4 for everything. Not on this system, but often, |
19 |
my boot partition is very active, as I copy many kernels |
20 |
there for many different (arch)machines and different hardware |
21 |
(HD, SSD, CF, SD...) I try to make the many systems I admin |
22 |
as homogeneous as possible, hence the switch to ext4 |
23 |
for boot. |
