The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed + allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps, + and a number of other features to improve performance and speed + up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at + http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org. + + The ext4 filesystem will support mounting an ext3 + filesystem; while there will be some performance gains from + the delayed allocation and inode table readahead, the best + performance gains will require enabling ext4 features in the + filesystem, or formatting a new filesystem as an ext4 + filesystem initially. + + To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here.
