This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
|
|
the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
|
|
ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
|
|
physical block numbers. 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. The
|
|
module will be called ext4.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.

Allow the ext4 file system driver code to be used for ext2 or

ext3 file system mounts. This allows users to reduce their

compiled kernel size by using one file system driver for

ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems.

POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and

To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for

Security labels support alternative access control models
|
|
implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option
|
|
enables an extended attribute handler for file security
|
|
labels in the ext4 filesystem.

extended attributes for file security labels, say N.

If you select Y here, then you will be able to turn on debugging

with a command such as:
