    Some questions about ext4

    I was thinking about formatting my harddisk using ext4. Now, I have a questions about it:

    Since it's still under development, if I format now, I will miss some features/enhancements, and I'll have to format again to get them? Or just upgrading some programs will do it?

    So, in the end the question is: Is it a matter of HOW the disk is formatted, or there is some kind of "fs manager" who needs to get upgraded?

    I hope the question is clear, I had troubles making it ^^"

    Usually if there is an update to have the full benefit of it you will have to reformat.

    So it's better if I wait until the ext4 is finalized? (I don't know if it's correct, sorry for my bad eng

    Yes wait til they've finished it, if you want future features.

    Nothing wrong with your ENG
    I am still learning after almost 33 years, ENG is my native language.
    Windows XP is like an 8" FDD, kept for compatibility but is no longer required.
