Advantages of FFS2 for /home on OpenBSD
Hi!
As i want to switch my desktop pc to openbsd soon, i have some questions regarding ffs2. The FAQ says, that ffs2 will be chosen automatically if the slice is bigger than 1TiB. All the 'standard' slices like /, /usr, /var and /tmp are ffs by default, but for /home i wondered if there is a difference between ffs and ffs2. In my case, /home will only be around 800 GiB and it will used mostly for flacs (20-40 MiB each). Are there any advantages using ffs2? Should i tweak the standard parameters for fsize, bsize? And if i would use it, should i just do a Code:
# newfs -O 2 sd0X # reboot Best, drm |

Hi jggimi!
Thanks for your answer. If i get it right, with your approach you can use your 'vital' partitions -- such as /home -- right after they're fscked at boot, while e.g. /multimedia is beeing repaired in the background? Maybe i will just create a separate slice for my music files and mount it read-only by default, so that there should be no need to fsck it at boot. Then, my /home would be around 80 GiB. Does FFS2 support faster fsck-times? Or is it really just about supporting lager disks? That still is not totally clear to me. Thanks and best regards, drm |
