Hello, i am setting up gentoo a Raspberry (B) following the gentoo wiki [1], first i prepare the SD-Card. The wiki links to the instructions over at embedded linux wiki [2].
I wonder about the disk layout. Q1: Do i need a swap partition, and if yes is 512m ok? The gentoo wiki creates one, the elinux wiki not. Q2: Also the Raspberry is likely to be powered down without warning. To my belief jounarled filesystems can handle this. I plan to use JFS since it works well on my desktop as well. Is there something I could have in mind? Q3: The gentoo wiki briefly mentions to use squashfs for /usr/portage. What will be the benefits of this?
