  1. Partition != File System by lkaos · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Therefore partition type is quite different from what file system to use.

    Besides, wasn't there just a story on Linux Advanced File Systems????

    There is no reason why use shouldn't use ReiserFS. Performs just as well (for the most part) as ext2 and will improve uptime by eliminating nasty fscks in the event of a failure.

    The more interesting question probably is what kernel should you be using????

    Kudos to story posters for having so many dups today. Really keeping us on our toes huh?
