Fragmentation does seem ok (I think that it was 2.2%) but the rest of it didn't
seem to work. file system was mounted ro, root couldn't log in or run anything
and the file system crashed to the point that grub said unknown file system.
Didn't seem to have any other issues with ext4 up to now appart for the
problem of less support from rescue disks. (did find one that works today though)
