I use reiserfs3.6 without notail but that doesn't mean that it would be
a good choice for you. I'm on laptop and disk space efficiency

You could use a file, like this, then put ext2 on it.

Huh. Why should somebody write a filesystem with Gentoo portage in mind?
Is they fs that support gzip like reiser4 do ?

This is correct.
If the journal change still resides in the

Suggestion: put your Portage and database trees on flash storage. I'd
go with one of two routes: a fast USB stick or a quality CompactFlash
card. At the moment, the one place I know of to get a quality CF card
is NewEgg: they're selling a couple of 266x CF4-compliant cards,
Transcend-branded.

There is no way I would do that or recommend it to anyone. Those devices
have a very, very short life if written to frequently. Portage isn't a
big problem because an emerge --sync will restore it - but
