/etc/fstab

Alright if I have

/ = primary and reiserfs
swap = primary
/boot = primary and ext2
/usr = logical and reiserfs
/home = logical and reiserfs
/var = logical and reiserfs

Should my fstab look like this?

Quote:

/dev/hdc1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hdc3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hdc2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc4 none extended noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hdc5 /var reiserfs noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hdc6 /home reiserfs noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hdc7 /usr reiserfs noauto, noatime 1 2

Why are you mounting everything noatime? I find keeping atimes can provide useful info from time to time. I can see mounting /var noatime if your cgoing to be having a lot of frequently accessed mail spools etc., but unless you're really concerned about performance (and maybe you are) you might want to record atimes.

Yes, that is my plan is to get maximum performance this install, I have gentoo installed on all of my computers, but I went with the default all the way with them so it was easy , but I am having a bit of trouble setting up everything differently than defaults.

That's cool ... you might want to run some benchmarks both ways just to see what the actual performance difference is. it'd be interesting to know!
