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. | ||
