Boot partition needs to be something like 20..100 Mb. Minimum for reiser is 100, a lot is "wasted" in the journal. Such a small partition recovers very fast even with no journal, as ext2, with the plust that the kernel supports it internally (no modules needed in initrd).
I used 60G, no problem. the kernel supports reiserfs also, so that's no
60 Gigabytes of boot? For /boot? What for? The kernel and associated files are about 30 MEGA bytes. What on earth do you use the extra 60 GB for?
:-OO (very surprised)
I don't miss it, it was just a solution to an immediate and pressing problem with booting from JFS and I stole it from swap.
I'm sorry, but I would consider a waste having a partition filled to only 0.1% capacity. Neither can I understand that you could stole 60 Gigabytes from a swap. You must have disks in the peta byte range! Either that, or you are reporting the wrong units.
I have had solid lockups as recently as an hour ago (hardware I reckon) and JFS comes up smiling, whereas an inadvertent power down of the other box yesterday, 145G of ext3 caused a major headache.
But you miss the point: a 100 MB partition checks in seconds, regardles of the filesystem you use. Even the old ext2. And I'm not telling you to use a 145G part as ext3. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
