+<b>ext4</b> is a filesystem created as a fork of ext3 bringing new features,
+performance improvements and removal of size limits with moderate changes
+to the on-disk format. It can span volumes up to 1 EB and with maximum file
+size of 16 TB. Instead of the classic ext2/3 bitmap block allocation ext4 uses
+<uri
link="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extent_%28file_systems%29";>extents</uri>,
+which improve large file performance and reduce fragmentation. Ext4 also
provides
+more sophisticated block allocation algorithms (delayed allocation and
multiblock
+allocation) giving the filesystem driver more ways to optimise the layout of
data
+on the disk. The ext4 filesystem is a compromise between production-grade code
+stability and the desire to introduce extensions to an almost decade old
+filesystem.
