Question #78122 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78122
actionparsnip proposed the following answer: It will be default in karmic but it has grown a lot (ALWAYS check dates on publications badmouthing stuff, if its old its probably because its young/experimental) ext4 is still journalised but gives more speed over ext3, there are other filesystems that Linux can use also like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS but no one uses it in Ubuntu (rightly so) as the defaults are sufficient for the average level of an Ubuntu user. There have been reports of data loss on hard shutdowns but I will be using ext3 for all installs as it is tried and tested and is not slow on my system. People have also reported faster boot times but this doesnt affect me as my low power systems are on 24/7. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
