RE: Any thoughts on ext4? [Was: Reiser4 patches]



Yes,

You can mount a ext3 file system as ext4

1. Using 'mkfs.ext3 /dev/DEVICE' to create the file system

2. To mount the partition as Ext4:

 mount -t ext4dev /dev/DEV /wherever

To enable extents, use:

 mount -t ext4dev -o extents /dev/DEVICE /wherever

Once mounted with -o extents, the partition cannot be mounted with -t
ext3 anymore!

Just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with the new file
system in a non-production system

Not me.  I will wait for them to finish writing it first. :)

Is it even at a state where one can try it out?
