Hello,
Yes, I have used it. It is journaling, so, fsck is never run, so, yeah, it is faster.
But.... It is not stable. I use it only for squid cache now. I would not recommend
it for /var (eak, goodbye mail), or /home. It was not included in the new kernel for a
reason-- I can't remember now exactly what it was, but it was ugly. It is most likely
documented on the web site, but that is down right now. If I remember, I'll let you
know.
