reiserfs and selinux on /home (non-root partitions) ?

[kernelOfTruth]

Hi everybody,

I've been toying with the idea to install fedora for a long time (4 years now), since I've simply been happy with gentoo on my laptop and box, unfortunately I don't have much time anymore to maintain it on the laptop and need a 100% availability (which fedora could offer)

I hope that I'll be lucky from the start and that everything will work

on to my question:

since I learned to appreciate reiserfs for its speed and robustness (data safety-wise) I'd like to use it at least on the /home partition

is it possible to use xfs on / (root) and reiserfs on /home with selinux enabled ?

I read on "The UnOfficial SELinux FAQ"

that this should be possible now

many thanks in advance for your input

Wait a bit, and you should be able to use ext4 Yes, you should be able to do as you want.

ext4 right now has some really nasty performance regressions, I hope they sort them out, if it goes mainline / is available in the repos I might give it a try

thanks !

I personally can't wait for ext4... I think it will raise the bar in file systems.

i have been using it here since f9 rawhide came out. Can't complain about it at all. It runs real nice. The only problem is that LVM will not do some of the things i would like. But other than that it is great!
