Enter ext4, the filesystem of the future
,----[ Quote ]
| iTWire: Fedora has started using ext4 as the default filesystem. What are
| some of the pros and cons of such a decision?
|
| Chris Samuel: ext4 is a much bigger change from ext3 than ext3 was in turn
| from ext2. Ext3 essentially just added journalling to ext2, whereas ext4
| moves to an extent based filesystem with other features such as delayed
| allocations (like XFS) to allow the allocator to be more intelligent about
| how it lays things out on disk and much bigger filesystem sizes (though the
| programs to create ext4 filesystems can't actually make them for you yet).
| Another nice feature is the fact that the journal data is checksummed so the
| filesystem can spot any corruption after a crash.

Achieving Robust Clustered Storage with Linux and GFS
,----[ Quote ]
| Load balancing is difficult. We often we need to share file systems via NFS
| or other mechanisms to provide a central location for the data. While you may
| be protected against a Web server node failure, you are still sharing fate
| with the central storage node.

The Ext4 Linux file system
,----[ Quote ]
| Ext3, the default Linux file system for many years, is definitely starting to
| show its age. Modern mass storage devices are approaching its limits and
| block-based data management is no longer adequate for modern file sizes. High
| time for an update!
