148 Ext4dev is a predecessor filesystem of the next generation
149 extended fs ext4, based on ext3 filesystem code. It will be
150 renamed ext4 fs later, once ext4dev is mature and stabilized.
151
152 Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
153 the on-disk format of ext4dev is not the same as ext3 any more:
154 it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit physical block
155 numbers. These combined on-disk format changes will allow
156 ext4dev/ext4 to handle more than 16 TB filesystem volumes --
157 a hard limit that ext3 cannot overcome without changing the
158 on-disk format.
159
160 Other than extent maps and 48-bit block numbers, ext4dev also is
161 likely to have other new features such as persistent preallocation,
162 high resolution time stamps, and larger file support etc. These
163 features will be added to ext4dev gradually.
164
165 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
166 module will be called ext4dev. Be aware, however, that the filesystem
167 of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot
168 be compiled as a module, and so this could be dangerous.
