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 Karac8962f42015-07-16 11:20:02 +020052 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.
