I think that I formulated my question incorrectly. I did not mean
"please give me advice over my specific application" this time, but
rather what I wanted was "please tell me a little about these various
features and also tell me if they are finished or still work in
progress, etc". Which is precisely what you answered already, so
thanks a lot =)

Just for completeness, which version number will that by?

So, I understand that currently mkfs.ext4 cannot generate ext4 file
systems with this feature, correct?

Is there any other way to generate a file system with this feature
with a 3.8 kernel which will work?

Just wondering if I can already start work on this or if I need to wait.

thanks,
