This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.
|
|
Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
|
the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
|
ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
|
physical block numbers. The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed
|
allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps,
|
and a number of other features to improve performance and speed
|
up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at
|
http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org.
|
|
The ext4 filesystem supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there
|
are some performance gains from the delayed allocation and inode
|
table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4
|
features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new
|
filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling
|
of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward
|
compatible.
|
|
To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
|
module will be called ext4.

Allow the ext4 file system driver code to be used for ext2

compiled kernel size by using one file system driver for

ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems.

Security labels support alternative access control models

implemented by security modules like SELinux. This option

enables an extended attribute handler for file security

labels in the ext4 filesystem.

extended attributes for file security labels, say N.

KUnit tests run during boot and output the results to the debug log

in TAP format (https://testanything.org/). Only useful for kernel devs

running KUnit test harness and are not for inclusion into a production

build.
