E.g., fsck runs much much faster with ext4.

Yes, but not if you are still on Lenny .... I have a Lenny box that was
quite happy to create an ext4 file system, but it wouldn't mount due to
the file system not being properly supported :confused: So, I simply
reverted back to ext3. But Squeeze is no problem.

Now that I have the space, I will almost certainly install Squeeze, since I can do so while not messing with my current install. That way I will have a guaranteed fallback if something does not work properly.
