Best filesystem for laptops
Hi there,
I'm just about to load a new version of VectorLinux (5.8) on my laptop, but would like some recommendations regarding the filesystem to use.
Since its quite modest (P3 450mhz, 128mb ram, 40gb hdd) what would be the most eficient filesystem that would provide the best battery life but also perform well.
I've seen threads where is was mentioned that journaling filesystems are not the best for laptops, but I also don't want to sacrifice speed. Also, would using a journal-less filesystem like ext2 require me to defragment the drive periodicaly?
Thanks in advance!
