How To Move Your Linux Systems To ext4
LinucksGirl writes "Ext4 is the latest in a long line of Linux file systems, and it's likely to be as important and popular as its predecessors. As a Linux system administrator, you should be aware of the advantages, disadvantages, and basic steps for migrating to ext4. This article explains when to adopt ext4, how to adapt traditional file system maintenance tool usage to ext4, and how to get the most out of the file system."

Do you realize how much porn some people have?
Instead of waiting a few years, go to your local computer store. They should have terabyte drives now.
Infuriate left and right
Because nobody on Slashdot knows that primary filesystem used on Linux is called Ext3 and we're too stupid to figure out what Ext4 might be. Come on.
Hey hey hey!
Now now, don't give us too much credit
It's like ext2 times two, stupid.
My Linux box goes to ext11.
Do you think the public response would have been different had he been in a bar?
All you young kids want these days is a faster, more convenient fsck.. What about the old days where fscking was about the technique, not the speed or the size...

Perhaps you should try prm (pansy rm) or psh (pansy shell).
If you define that 1 KB is 1 billion bytes, then they are are really fleecing you
I'd say that i fyou define that 1KB is 1 billion bytes, then you've got bigger problems than the marketing departments of drive manufacturers.

I can tell you're a slashdotter. When most people fsck they want it to last as long as possible.
Good, inexpensive web hosting
I'm just happy when it's done for me, and I don't have to handle it manually. When fscking fails at the beginning, it can ruin your whole day if you're not an expert.

No, wrong. it's the next stable release of ext. remember people, odd numbers are development, even numbers are stable!
okay, mod me down, I should really come up with new jokes.
Knowledge is power. Knowledge shared is power lost.
No kidding. Sometimes I'm just not into fscking either, but if you're failing at the beginning, you may want to call an expert.
Usually my problem is that my fsck gets a "fsck-completed-normally", when the media is really only half fscked.
But don't worry -- fscking takes practice. If you got a quality media, you can half-fsck it many times before the media fails completely.
May I also suggest fscking aids? There are many tools on the market that can help when your fscking routinely fails doesn't complete. They're usually lightweight and easy to use, and can help to save your media from getting fscked elsewhere.
As you said, when all else fails, sometimes you really do just need to handle it manually.
You obviously haven't been married ;)
You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.
