Subject: [gentoo-user] Ext4 for a new installation?

1 For more funroll-loopiness I contemplate using ext4 for the new system
2 I'm about to install.
3
4 Anyone know of any LiveCDs that would support this?

6 I _think_ it should be just a case of untarring the stage 3, chrooting
7 in, updating everything to latest & reboot. As long as I use 2.6.28
8 when I install I don't think there should be anything that is
9 incompatible with ext4??
10
11 Or would I be better off using ext3 and converting it to ext4 in a
12 month or two? Are there any downsides to converting a fs from ext3 to
13 ext4 in this way?
14
15 Cheers,
