I am only converting complete /var to ReiserFS and keep the same size for /var.
I use a different solution: cer@Telcontar:~> l /var/spool/news lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Sep 25 2010 /var/spool/news -> /home1/var_spool_news/ cer@Telcontar:~> mount | grep home1 /dev/sdc8 on /home1 type reiserfs (rw,relatime,acl,user_xattr,barrier=flush) The "/var/spool/news" directory is a symlink to a directory in another partition that happens to be reiserfs. I decided to use leafnode much after the system was installed. If I were installing a fresh system instead I would create a /var/spool/news partition as reiserfs.
Now you know why I'm experimenting with a single FS using BtrFS and nothing else: no /boot; no worries about merging / and /usr; no worries about inode/data ratios; no worries about barriers.
Yes but btrfs is still very experimental afaics.
True. But I heard it has an interesting feature: it can do compression of files, and news are text files. I will eventually switch a partition to it and try. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
