Re: file systems

My main system had 3 HDDs (one just bit the dust last week :( ) ... the main
drive is / which includes the /home ... the data drive is mounted to
/home/kleedrac/data1 and /home/kleedrac/data2 ... they mostly just sit there
for downloads ... all software/games/whatever is installed to the ext3 drive
... so essentially all that's on the data drives is movies, random
divx/xvid, music, books and disc images ... and for that ext2 is fine :)
