thanks everybody for the syntax :-) one further question, regarding this: Tarragon Allen wrote: >With my own system, I have seperate partitions for /home, /tmp, /usr, /var, >/boot, and /, all previously in ext3. I changed fstab to mount these all as >ext2 instead, and converted my /home to reiserfs using the process above (or >close to). Ardour runs much nicer now. > > what part of my file system benefits the most from running reiserfs? right now, i have everything on one partition, but if i were to break this up with seperate /home and / partitions, should they both be reiserfs? in short, is it the operating system that benefits from the reiserfs, or the directory where your sound files live? i haven't done any recording at all yet due to my bad xruns, so it would seem [thus far] that my root partition needs a faster file system. or would it be better to use a non-journalling system for the root partition [as you have above] and reiserfs for the /home partition where the sound gets streamed to and from? also, would one use a similar proceedure to the one you have described to move the contents of a /home directory in the root partition to a seperate /home partition? thx + best, derek
