The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed 45 allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps, 46 and a number of other features to improve performance and speed 47 up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at 48 http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org. 49 50 The ext4 filesystem supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there 51 are some performance gains from the delayed allocation and inode 52 table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4 53 features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new 54 filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling 55 of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward 56 compatible. 57 58 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here.
