Subject: [gentoo-user] Ext4 for a new installation?
Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2009 04:33:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <24AC7F42-C25F-4E0E-9E7A-78A105593737@stellar.eclipse.co.uk> (raw)

For more funroll-loopiness I contemplate using ext4 for the new system  
I'm about to install.

Anyone know of any LiveCDs that would support this?

I _think_ it should be just a case of untarring the stage 3, chrooting  
in, updating everything to latest & reboot. As long as I use 2.6.28  
when I install I don't think there should be anything that is  
incompatible with ext4??

Or would I be better off using ext3 and converting it to ext4 in a  
month or two? Are there any downsides to converting a fs from ext3 to  
ext4 in this way?

Cheers,

Stroller.
