1 Hello all,
2
3 did any of you convert from ext3 to ext4?
4
5 Does it improve performance noticably for a default workstation?
6 (firefox, openoffice, amarok (with large database), kopete, skype)
7
8 Will you eventually be fine when just converting an existing system,
9 or is a reinstall preferred? (which is much more effort)

13 Does a raid setup require extra attention? (I'm running /dev/md1 in
14 raid-1 for /boot and /dev/md3 in raid-0 for /) Do I have to convert
15 /dev/md3, or the /dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb3?
16
17 Thanks in advance,
18
