  1. i said it.  im dropping JFS, ext4 has addressed the issues i had with ext3 which was the FSCK taking FOREVER AND A HALF with ext3.  JFS has been a TITAN of a file system for a very very long time so long as you played by it's rules.  the problem with JFS arises with incorrect fstab settings anywhere leaving root mounted as read only.  if you have a drive fail anywhere within your fstab your system is mounted read only with JFS, and this is the reason why i am officially dropping it in favor of ext4.  XFS is very similar in performance to JFS with more features but JFS's elegance is in its simplicity, and raw disk IO performance.  im still saying JFS is an excellent datacenter storage FS choice.

     

    since im not trying to support 16gb sticks anymore i think im going to start including a 512mb swap also, much of it was written with 16gb usb stick support in mind because that's what i originally started the project on, it is really too small for a full funtoo install to be running even without swap.

  2. i pulled the better-initramfs stuff out, the ebuilds missing from portage, & we should not depend on remote initramfs images.  debian-sources initramfs supports dmcrypt && luks && lvm....  it does all of them.  i can get my build to boot, but it's a dirty ugly hack to get it to boot.  its a misplaced detail SOMEWHERE....  and i think it's not supporting partlabel, requiring uuid for crypt root.  i point the misloaded initrd @ /dev/sdc3 and it unlocks & finishes booting fine.

    it's all gravy now

  3. i have kde plasma running fine under this configuration with lightdm instead of sddm.....  as i was building the stage3 desktop wiki page i had problems with grub and the kernel it was loading so i had added rc-update add elogind && rc-update add dbus...  but looking at my gnome rig neither of those are required for lightdm to load.  my gnome rig is also my cinnamon rig.  my kde rig is pure kde, and twm to ensure xorg was starting.

  4. your login to bugs.funtoo.org is the same as the fourms.  make sure you're using your USERNAME, not email.  so im pnoecker on bugs.funtoo.org but paul.noecker6@gmaaaillll will faillllll....  drobbins doesn't guard the forum like a hawk, he does guard the bug tracker like a hawk though.  try the bug tracker again.  if it fails ill relay the message in discord for you.
