DrakX Partitioning

Postby Don_HH2K » Fri 04 Mar, 2005 7:02 pm

I'm reformatting the drive on my other computer for Mandrake Linux 10.1 using DrakX. I've got lots of partitioning options, which is best?

I've made a 240MB swap space (this is actually decent taking into account that my hard drive is very small). There are the options for "Linux Native", "Journalised FS: ext3", "Journalised FS: ReiserFS", "Journalised FS: XFS", and "Journalised FS: JFS". I don't know much about any of these besides native, but Mandrake seems to prefer Journalised FS over it, although I'm not sure which one. What's best for a 3.2GB hard drive, perferably with small cluster size (< 4K if possible, just small documents, nothing big here, need the space)? Also, if anybody is familiar with such, what are the differences between all these FSes?
