Thank you. With regards to /home, will there be a negative impact on the way nilfs2 works if /home is on a separate partition? On Ubuntu and nilfs2, Ubuntu's installer does not have nilfs2 as a file system option, how did you install Natty N. on nilfs2? I know these are not dev-related questions, but I'm planning on writing several nilfs2-related tutorials, and need to know exactly how a disk should be partitioned for it.
