I'm going to do the ext3 conversion on one of my partitions and see how this goes, it seems ext4 isn't a fad after all.

I will do it as soon as I can find extra storage space for backups

I've been using ext4 with Fedora 10 for almost 2 months now. So far so good. I cannot say that the improvements are spectacular, but ext4 is no worse than ext3 and that's what counts.

Here's another interesting read:

I have been using ReiserFS, though development has stopped now that Mr Reiser is in jail for murdering his wife. It's really cool, fast and stable, but poor support in Mac and Windows...
