Hi there! |

Is there an advantage in putting the portage tree on an extra partition? |

|

Currently, I'm using reiserfs, because I read that it is efficient when |
6 |
using many small files. On the other hand I also heard that it tends to |
7 |
get slower with every emerge --sync. |

Space is no longer an argument in these days, at least for my desktop |
10 |
machine. But I would like to optimize for speed -- emerge -DputnVj |
11 |
@world takes quite a while to calculate, I assume this is because so many |
12 |
ebuild files have to be accessed. |

Any tips on this? Does it make sense to use a special file system just |
15 |
for the portage tree? What would be best? Would it help to re-create this |
16 |
file system from time to time in case it gets slower with every sync? Or |
17 |
wouldn't I notice a difference if I just used a big ext4 partition for |
18 |
all portage related stuff? |

Anyone using a compressed RAM file system for that? :) |
