I am looking to format a new HDD for use with Linux. The drive will be mainly used as backup drive.
I'd not like to go with btrfs as yet. Would prefer to choose between ext3 and ext4. I have been using ext3 on all my systems till now and didn't face any problems. But wondering whether I should choose ext4 over it just because it's a higher version. I read some general information about the two. ext4 has larger volume handling capabilities etc. which I am not looking for. On the contrary, there are some disadvantages mentioned like "potential data loss" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4) which makes me a little apprehensive about ext4: Can someone advise?
