I was thinking of having the below filesystem schema: / : ext3 (-j -O dir_index,sparse_super,filetype) (Good mkfs options ??) /usr : xfs (I never used it so please suggest mkfs.xfs options) /var : // /home : ext3 (-m 0 -j -O dir_index,sparse_super,filetype) (Good mkfs options ??) /usr/portage : ReiserFS (3? 4? options??) /mnt/storage : ext3 (-m 0 -j -O dir_index,sparse_super,filetype) (Good mkfs options ??) Could you please comment/complete/change the schema above ?? I really would like to speed up my system a little bit, My system is entirely built on LVM array, and LVM is on DM-CRYPT so as you can see it's a quite slow due to the encryption... Oh one last thing, What do you suggest for a server? I have a Gentoo server and uptime can be over 5/6 months, everytime I reboot the server I have to manually scan the filesystem due to errors everywhere, any suggestions??
