As the next openSUSE now defaults to ext4, I'm wondering. I don't understand what I gain/miss with ext4/ext3. Is the benefit significant compared with ext3 and how? Is ext4 better for hard disks, is it perhaps much better for ssd? The price of solid state drives is coming down, and since I know nothing, I'm tempted. Should I go ext4/ssd? Should I go ext4/hdd? What do I miss if I stay ext3? Or should I go back to reiserfs? I never had an issue with it and the enterprice versions default to it.
