Why do you think that? Me, I used my ears to determine the best filesystem for my workloads on the PC. Ext4 is the one with least head movement: the disks stay silent for long periods of time, then they have hectic fits and go quiet again. Compare this with freebsd's UFS2+soft-updates, XFS and JFS. I didn't dare to use ZFS on freebsd and I think I never tried reiserfs, fearing it isn't on active development currently. Oh, one other thing: my swap and home partitions are LUKS encrypted. The swap uses etc/crypttab with a random key, the key for home is on an USB dongle, so I can physically lock out people taking possession of the PC by keeping that dongle safely stashed away some place. clemens
