However, most testing is now probably done on ext4, so I wouldn't expect ext4 to be more buggy than ext3. The real difference is that ext4 allows you to mount your partitions with optimizations that might cause more dataloss on a powerfailure than what the standard ext3 options would. I'd rather change the mount options for ext4 than move to ext3. Cheers, Tom
