Guys,
This is just a quick request to make sure I don't screw myself playing with new technology. I have a server 5 existing ext3 partitions on a dmraid array with several hundred gig of unpartitioned space. I have created the new partition and I'm about the create the filesystem. With ext4 now available, is there any reason I shouldn't go ahead and create the filesystem as ext4? It will simply be another data partition to supplement /home that was created rather small to begin with.
Any thoughts or gotchas on using ext4 instead of ext3 for this?? No. There is no reason not to use ext4. It's a good all-around filesystem. Google are in the process of moving from ext2 to ext4.
Now, give me a reason why you should listen to me?
