How did you format the rest? ext4 or reiserfs for root. reiserfs for portage and tmp (usually used by ccache). I choose reiser here because it has the best small-file performance, can use tail packing to save space on working with small files and you never ever have to worry about inode shortage. ccache, portage and tmp/portage are thousands of small files. On this laptop: /dev/mapper/aux-root on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime,acl) [ 5.2G / 10G ] /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw,noatime) [ 114M / 183M ] /dev/mapper/prime-varz on /var type ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime) [ 519M / 2G ] /dev/mapper/prime-core on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime) [ 4.8G / 10G ] /dev/mapper/aux-extent on /mnt/extent type ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime) [ 6.6G / 10G ] /dev/mapper/aux-stash on /mnt/stash type reiserfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime) [ 8G / 30G ] /dev/mapper/aux-tmp on /var/tmp type reiserfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime) [ 3G / 10G ] /dev/mapper/aux-portage on /usr/portage type reiserfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime) [ 800M / 3G ] /dev/mapper/aux-iwd on /mnt/stash/wine/iwd type xfs (rw,noatime) [ 2.2G / 5G ] /dev/mapper/aux-fallout on /mnt/stash/wine/fallout type xfs (rw,noatime) [ 600M / 5G ] "prime" is an LVM group on encrypted (dmcrypt) partition (/root and /etc repository are symlinked to /home). /opt and /usr/games are symlinked to /mnt/extent/, since they are quite heavy. xfs lvs are case-insensitive, so it allows to use any native linux tools (like WeiDU) on wine-accessed files, without having to convert their case. LVM is a sorta godsend for me here ;) -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net
