If I remember aright, I started using ReiserFS before ext4 was released. It |
| 8 |
seemed at the time to offer better performance than ext3 for many small files |
| 9 |
(portage tree) and for large ones (source files), so I used it for those |
| 10 |
purposes. If those advantages have now disappeared, it looks like time to |
| 11 |
switch to ext4 for everything other than /boot, which is still ext2 here. |
