    Arrow ext Fedora 11

    I am planning on moving a couple of machines to Fedora 11 from Ubuntu. While I like the latest and greatest (if there is a reason) I do not like being a pioneer with arrows in my back.

    ext4 may have a few critical uncorrected problems when Fedora 11 is released so I am seeking opinions from others.

    I've always used ext3 and will probably wait a little before going to ext4. Before you do up all of your machines, I would advise getting one set up to make sure that you don't run into any unexpected issues.
    From what I've been reading about it, though, I think we'll be seeing quite a few distros going to ext4 in the next year or so.

    I'm with jayd on this. I've always used ext3 and would wait to see what wrinkles still need to be ironed out of ext4 before trusting it completely.

    I'll probably try it on a VM and give it a good beating though

    Yes.. i would wait for few releases and then decide on ext4...i heard sqlite is performace is slow in ext4..so it's safe to wait for sometime...or as suggested by jayd check with test machine before moving everything .

    I voted for ext4 ,becase i would like to explore ext4
