However, be very, ah, *cautious* about trying any ext4 options beyond
the RH defaults. I tried creating some with extents and other
non-default options yesterday and it immediately triggered kernel panics
when I tried to mount the resulting file systems. On the other side,
I've been running default ext4 options on CentOS5 on some machines for
years now with no hiccups at all.
