FOSDEM 2009 Ext4

This presentation will discuss history of ext4, its features and advantages, and how best to use the ext4 filesystem.

The latest generation of the ext2/ext3 filesystems is the ext4 filesystem, which recently left the development status of 2.6.28. With extents, delayed allocation, multiblock allocation, persistent preallocation, and its other new features, it is substantally faster and more efficient compared to the ext3 filesystem.

I like the talk but he is really talking like his filesystem. E.g. pushing a "you know" or actually a "Y'now" every now and then.. just like ext4 pushes out data every now and then ;)
