| 41 | This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem, |
| 44 | the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with |
| 45 | ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit |
| 46 | physical block numbers. The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed |
| 47 | allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps, |
| 48 | and a number of other features to improve performance and speed |
| 49 | up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at |
| 50 | http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org. |

Jan Kara | c8962f4 | 2015-07-16 11:20:02 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 52 | The ext4 filesystem supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there |
| 53 | are some performance gains from the delayed allocation and inode |
| 54 | table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4 |
| 55 | features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new |
| 56 | filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling |
| 57 | of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward |
| 58 | compatible. |
