for reference, my setup at home and at work: two harddrives, one for / and /boot, the other for /home. both / and /home are NILFS2, while /boot is ext3. i wanted a very reliable journaling FS on /boot to lessen risk of foobar, and also I'm using lilo, which is not supported by NILFS2 yet -- lack of fibmap syscall. -- dexen deVries > (...)
