Hi,

At the last release meeting, the switch to ext4 by default has been mentioned.
My understanding is that we reach an agreement on the switch to ext4
[1] but it still
not clear if it will happen this month.

To make it happen, it will require several bug fixes:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-linaro-omap/+bug/817148
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-image-tools/+bug/821479
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-ubuntu/+bug/822593
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+bug/824545

Also, it's worth mentioning that changing the default will break previous
releases if they don't have ext4 support. The workaround is linaro-media-create
--rootfs option to specify the filesystem.

If there's any blockers for Linaro 11.08 time frame, let me know.

Cheers,
