43 | This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem. | |
44 | ||
45 | Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem, | |
46 | the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with | |
47 | ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit | |
48 | physical block numbers. The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed | |
49 | allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps, | |
50 | and a number of other features to improve performance and speed | |
51 | up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at | |
52 | http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org. | |

54 | The ext4 filesystem supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there |
55 | are some performance gains from the delayed allocation and inode | |
56 | table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4 | |
57 | features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new | |
58 | filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling | |
59 | of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward | |
60 | compatible. | |
