42 This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.
43
44 Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
45 the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
46 ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
47 physical block numbers. The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed
48 allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps,
49 and a number of other features to improve performance and speed
50 up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at
51 http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org.
52
Jan Karac8962f42015-07-16 11:20:02 +020053 The ext4 filesystem supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there
54 are some performance gains from the delayed allocation and inode
55 table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4
56 features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new
57 filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling
58 of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward
59 compatible.

93 enables an extended attribute handler for file security
