for reference, my setup at home and at work:
two harddrives, one for / and /boot, the other for /home.

both / and /home are NILFS2, while /boot is ext3.

i wanted a very reliable journaling FS on /boot to lessen risk of foobar, and 
also I'm using lilo, which is not supported by NILFS2 yet -- lack of fibmap 
syscall.
