  	  This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem.
  
  	  Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
  	  the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with
  	  ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit
  	  physical block numbers.  The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed
  	  allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps,
  	  and a number of other features to improve performance and speed
  	  up fsck time.  For more information, please see the web pages at
  	  http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org.

  	  The ext4 filesystem supports mounting an ext3 filesystem; while there
  	  are some performance gains from the delayed allocation and inode
  	  table readahead, the best performance gains require enabling ext4
  	  features in the filesystem using tune2fs, or formatting a new
  	  filesystem as an ext4 filesystem initially. Without explicit enabling
  	  of ext4 features, the on disk filesystem format stays fully backward
  	  compatible.
