I don't mount any of my filesystems read-only as I often need to write
to them... I use my system for development and so I often need to
install new versions of software... or change settings...

I had originally only moved my /home to a journalling filesystem while I
tested how stable it was... (which is when I encountered all the NFS
problems with reiserfs and moved to XFS) but now I am happy with the
system's stability I have moved all my partitions except /boot to XFS.

Cheers

Kim
