What do you conclude from this?
I'd say that /dev/sda2 is near "beginning" of disk (outer side,

Of course not. The disk is physically organized in cylinders, that's the
structure dictated by the mechanical desig

with /var/tmp on tmpfs :(

You can do this by booting a live-CD and use gparted to move your
root-partition.
These days you have absolutely no guarantee that a partit

Hi all! i am running Gentoo in a Dell Inspiron 1420, using XFS as fs for /
and /home, ext2 for /boot, leaving 40 Gb for other things (probably a lvm
to run vms).
I am thinking if i will get better performance mounting /var/tmp/ and/or
/usr/portage in other partition.
Thanks,
Cheers!
