Interesting. From "make menuconfig"... |

[ ] Use ext4 for ext2/ext3 file systems |

I usually have a 200 or 250 MEGAbyte (correct!) / partition using |
| 19 |
ext2. /boot is physically on the / partitiion. The / partition only |
| 20 |
gets written to... |
| 21 |
* during the emerge "install" step |
| 22 |
* when I'm manually tweaking a file in /etc |
| 23 |
|

Then a swap partition, and the rest of the drive is a honking big |
| 25 |
/home partition. /home/bindmounts/opt and /home/bindmounts/var and |
| 26 |
/home/bindmounts/usr and /home/bindmounts/tmp are bind-mounted onto the |
| 27 |
corresponding directories in /. The big /home partition is the one that |
| 28 |
I'm considering EXT3 or EXT4. |
