swap as a swapfile where you want it to lie or 512MB-2GB swap partition. |

So you would have 6-7 partitions. |

no XFS, because it is highly unstable. No JFS, because it is slow. No ext4 |
| 22 |
because it is dev material. ext2 for /boot, reiserfs for /usr/portage, |
| 23 |
because it saves lots of space there and if it does become fragmented, you |
| 24 |
can mkfs /usr/portage without any risks - everything gone can be restored |
| 25 |
with an emerge --sync. |
