I did the installation as you described. Eventually the /home partition corrupted irretrievably. Its not a conventional reiserFS restored from a backup. I'm glad I stayed with EXT4 for all partitions except /boot/efi with is FAT of course.
Sorry, my typo. That "now a ReiserFS". I've found ReiserFS to be rock solid, incorruptible and have none of the problems I've encountered with the extN series. I tried ext4 in 12.2 and 12.3 and ran into its limits almost immediately. . Totally unnecessary. The greatest advantage for me of the B-tree type file systems is that they don't have the idiocy that the extN series inherited from PDP-11/V6 UNIX of having a fixed division between the # of inodes and the amount of data space set at mkfs time. Stupid then, stupid now. Totally unnecessary. If ext4 has a b-tree internal structure then why can't it adopt the mechanism that the other b-tree file systems (XFS, ReiserFS, BtrFS) of dynamically allocating inodes?
