In 11.0 there is basic support ( kernelmodule and utilities) for
ext4 but no support for installation on ext4. Will there be support
for installation on ext4 in 11.1 ? Or is ext4 still considered
too unstable ?
We're doing a massive redesign of the partitioner for 11.1 and I'm not
sure whether we can add ext4 support. The kernel and base tools will
support it, so installing on ext3 and running tune2fs is one option,
What about adding some text to the new partitioner page briefly
outlining how to do this? e.g.

It's a wiki - go ahead ;)

I can't find it on the OpenSuSE site - have you a link please?


"Ext4: Not currently available in this partitioner tool - please
select ext3 and, after installation, run tune2fs option option to
convert."

AFAIR:
tune2fs -E test_fs /dev/sd...
and then change fstab to use ext4dev for the partition

I'll start with that, then try it myself...
