Hi,
See from a knoppmyth/pvr-500 howto that I should have partitions for /cache
and /myth:
select "New, Primary" with the size of your / partition
arrow down to free space
select "New, Logical" enter 500
arrow over to type and select swap from the list
arrow down to free space again
select "New, Logical" enter 10gb for /cache
arrow down to free space once more
select "New, Logical" and use the rest of the space for /myth
WAs a little surprised that the howto recommends using ext2:
mke2fs -O sparse_super -m0 -i8000000 -L cache -M /cache /dev/hdaX
mke2fs -j -O sparse_super -m0 -i8000000 -L myth -M /myth /dev/hdaX
Is this really the most efficient filesystem type for the purpose?
Cheers
