The Arch Linux install guide (I think) told me that ext2 was a good pick for/ boot, and ext3 was rock-solid for everything else. I just did what someone told me! Seriously though, I think I would still use it just for the reason that I don't really need a journal on my /boot partition (saves a bit of space I would assume), and ext2 is about as solid of a FS as you can get. My /boot partition is only 32MB. I'd mount it as read-only all the time, but then kernel updates would be a pain and I'd forget to mount it read-write. I could write a pacman hook for that though... :P -Dan
