Hello I am trying to know what filesystem+blocksize combination could be better for the kind of files stored in portage tree.
In the past, I have been using reiserfs for my / partition and I had /usr/portage under it. Later, I moved /usr/portage to a different partition (distfiles go to a different directory) and switched it to ext2 (as, in theory, ext2 should be faster as has no journaling) and 2048 as blocksize (that, of course, shrinks portage tree sizes but I am unsure about its effects from a performance point of view) Of course, I am not asking you for benchmarks or something else, I am simply asking for your opinions about what would be better combination from a performance point of view of filesystem+blocksize (or, at least, what blocksize would be better for speed, I can test filesystems later based on it) Thanks a lot for your recommendations :-)
