What filesystems are available by default in FC2 installation?

[fedetxf]

I plan to install FC2 and seeing this benchmark http://linuxgazette.net/102/piszcz.html I see ext3 is slow compared to other journaled FS. I ask you what FS are available by default upon FC2 installation and if you had any experience with JFS, ReiserFS or XFS I'd love to hear about it.

I know you can use 'boot:linux reiserfs' option on fedora, to include reiserfs support.
I use reiserfs on all my partitions except on /. my post
ReiserFS is faster than ext3 in my experience... I don't know about xfs or jfs.

So I guess /boot and / have to be ext3.
/boot is already a separate partition in the default installation.
My question now is: what is the minimum I can put in the / partition?
Can I put /tmp, /home /usr, / var and what else in a reiser partition and have / and /root in a (how big?) ext3 partition?

[ghaefb]

I think that should work.
/boot partition doesn't need to be big(10Mb-100Mb)
/ partition depends on distribution(amount of packages installed), for fedora 3Gb - 10Gb
Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

But packages are installed in /usr and some programs gop to /var. In a desktop PC having all the RPMs in a ext3 partotion kind of cancels some of the benefits of using reiser or JFS for /home and stuff. I'll try creating an ext3 for "/" and "/root" based on my RH9 size for those dirs plus some 10% more just in case.

Hi, fedetxf! Glad to see you around.

Since FC2 is a new distribution (just being released), I'd try ext first until I was sure everything was ok. Only then I'd test other FS.
