Tony outlined the problem with upgrading ext3 to ext4, so I have just this to add: use ext4. There is no reason, exempting some fears caused by problems in early releases, not to use it. It's faster in almost every way. Format ext4 from the start, and you'll be happy. I really, really cannot wait for btrfs. :) Tyler -- "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
