Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2009 04:33:55 +0000 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.930.3) X-Archives-Salt: bea0fa14-4c51-479f-9bc6-2ac990695b44 X-Archives-Hash: 84b8eb58af21d93855b00f68a87b9eb5 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.
