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 supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there + are some performance gains from the delayed allocation and inode + table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4 + features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new + filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling + of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward + compatible. + + To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here.
