    Ext4: How do you feel?

    How do you like Ext4 currently? Of course, it's the default in Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 LTS Alpha. Do you guys think it's a very good file system, and how much of a performance increase are you guys having? Please explain your votes.

    Can't really compare. I used ext4 previously and i haven't noticed either a drop or gain in performance.
    I feel ok.

    I don't trust it. Never had an issue with Ext3; have had issues with Ext4.

    For me there is no difference, unless it is responsible for the faster boot and shutdown times.

    I don't trust any of the ext based file systems and have not used them since I have lost data on both ext2 and ext3.

    I haven't really noticed that I'm using it. So I'm happy with it.
    I am currently unable to come up with a witty statement to put in my signature. Please check back later.

    Does that problem where large files become corrupted still exist in EXT4?
