The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed 48 allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps, 49 and a number of other features to improve performance and speed 50 up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at 51 http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org. 52 53 The ext4 filesystem supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there 54 are some performance gains from the delayed allocation and inode 55 table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4 56 features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new 57 filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling 58 of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward 59 compatible. 60 61 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here.
