Feature changed by: Piotrek Juzwiak (BenderBendingRodriguez) Feature #305691, revision 23 Title: Support ext4 as installation option openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Stephan Binner (beineri) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Next openSUSE release should at least support to use (versus "default to") ext4 as file system. Discussion: #1: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) (2009-01-18 03:29:23) I think there will be an option to that naturally as openSUSE 11.1 will use the newer kernel with stabilized ext4 tree. All the tools for it are already there and GRUB also supports it. It's not necessary to vote for this feature as it will naturally be there. #2: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) (2009-01-18 03:29:43) Sorry meant 11.2 #3: Claus Rebler (zunami) (2009-01-18 17:55:32) yeah that is a good idea but @ version 11.2 #4: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2009-01-19 09:50:29) XFS has had many features of ext4 for years already (and is currently also supported by openSUSE and grub). #5: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2009-01-19 09:52:16) (reply to #4) But yeah, support would be great. At the same time, btrfs could be added as an experimental selection. + #6: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) (2009-01-23 22:22:23) + The problem with XFS is that it's no longer maintained. Second is that + it gets fragmented heavily. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305691
