1 Hi,
2
3 I have to install some brand new machines (with Gentoo, of course)
4 What are the advantages of using Ext4 partitions over Ext3 ones.
5 Has anybody verified that the recent version of app-arch/dump can
6 handle Ext4 partitions (of how do backup Ext4 partitions fast -
7 tar is much to slow)

9 Many thanks for some hints or pointers,
10 Helmut.
