you're doing any serious recording you need a dedicated data drive. I
*really* wouldn't use reiserfs on the root drive.
This sounds like a good compromise. On my laptop, where in the future
the real audio stuff is going on (maybe live, who knows) I have two
partitions, one for /home (which is me and all sound stuff) one for
the /-rest, both around 10 GB in size. Both are ext3 currently, but It
would be very easy to change the /home-partition to reiserfs, because
there is enough free space on / to move /home there temporarily.
Looking a Marks fs-benchmarks, ext3 is first of all bad at disk
writes. I don't write much outside /home, only to /tmp and I could
symlink that over to /home/tmp or such.
Does this all sound like a good strategy?
Changing / to reiser would be much harder and would require
repartitioning if I don't want to have /boot on reiser, which I
wouldn't want to for named reasons.
ciao
