+ext4 + + +ext4 is the latest in the ext series of filesystems. It was designed to +build upon ext3 with new ideas on what filesystems should do. While +Slackware supports ext4, you should remember that this filesystem is +still very new (particularly in file system terms) and is under heavy +development. If you require stability over performance, you may wish to +use a different filesystem such as ext3. With that said, ext4 does +boast some major improvements over ext3 in the performance arena, but +many people don't yet trust it for stable use. + + +
