Interesting. From "make menuconfig"... [ ] Use ext4 for ext2/ext3 file systems ...and the help text says... > Allow the ext4 file system driver code to be used for ext2 or > ext3 file system mounts.

I usually have a 200 or 250 MEGAbyte (correct!) / partition using ext2. /boot is physically on the / partitiion. The / partition only gets written to... * during the emerge "install" step * when I'm manually tweaking a file in /etc Then a swap partition, and the rest of the drive is a honking big /home partition. /home/bindmounts/opt and /home/bindmounts/var and /home/bindmounts/usr and /home/bindmounts/tmp are bind-mounted onto the corresponding directories in /. The big /home partition is the one that I'm considering EXT3 or EXT4. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
