Title: Ubuntu 9.04 Receives EXT4 Support ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "With the EXT4 file-system having been stabilized with the

Linux 2.6.28 kernel, the Ubuntu developers are preparing to adopt this

evolutionary Linux file-system update. EXT4 will not replace EXT3 as the

default file-system until at least Ubuntu 9.10, but as of yesterday,

Ubuntu 9.04 now has install-time support for EXT4. In this article we

are looking at the EXT4 support within Ubuntu as well as providing a few

Linux file-system benchmarks from a netbook-embedded solid-state drive.

In this article we have published Ubuntu benchmarks of EXT4, EXT3, XFS,

JFS, and ReiserFS file-systems."
