I'm a big fan of ext2 for /boot.
It is about as simple as it gets and everything out there can read it.
But the boot / root volume is on SSD and I want to exploit it _and_ preserve maximum lifetime (or whatever tradeoff I can decide is optimum
When Greg replied I got the impression he was implying via EXT2 that you don't want a journal on any SSD partition. EXT2 is the only filesystem I ever use on a discrete /boot partition.
(I just tried to run MemTest86+ from the current UBCD disc (5.0.3), and it failed to run, stalling immediately after presenting its initial display and showing zeroes for the memory speed...)
I got the impression via a Fedora dev list post a short time ago that to get memtest to run on Sandy Bridge requires v4.20.
FYI: Likely by 12.1, opensuse may just have a ext4 kernel driver and it will handle ext2/ext3/ext4, so you get the same driver for all 3 of those.
There are just so very many numbers between 11.4 and 12.1...
But not openSUSE release numbers, unless you maybe count those that include "M". 11.4 GM was last release. 12.1 is GM release next, reported for months already by Factory installations. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
