The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed 44 allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps, 45 and a number of other features to improve performance and speed 46 up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at 47 http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org. 48 49 The ext4 filesystem supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there 50 are some performance gains from the delayed allocation and inode 51 table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4 52 features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new 53 filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling 54 of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward 55 compatible. 56 57 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here.
