minus-squarelemmyreader@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·10 months agoThat reminds me that some howtos I’ve seen in the past recommended to use ext2 for a separate /boot partition.
minus-squaretoastal@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoDepends how you read that. FAT32 is basically required for /boot/EFI but you still see /boot as separate old, stable filesystem on some setups. Usually it is just a bit easier/less hassle to do the whole thing up as FAT32 but you don’t have to.

minus-squareLeFantome@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoJust use ext3 with journaling turned off.
