I can agree that it is not as well tested. Simply because it is so much
newer. I do not know that you can extrapolate that to it being less
reliable. Time will tell. I have decided to try the default ext4 as the
root partition of the 11.2 system I work on. /home, which has all my
stuff, is still ext3. I never remake that with successive OS installs.
So far, I have not had any problems that I can see. I figure that the
only way ext4 can become reliable is if people use it and help sort out
any problems that arise. Of course, if I encounter an ext4 problem. I
will probably go back to ext4. But, knock on wood, so far, so good.
