Help, after I had clean installed Karmic on my ext4 partition, the performance was significantly slower compared to ext3. Startup was around 7 secs but with ext4 it's now 20 secs application speeds are also slower.*

But isn't the default filesystem for ubuntu ext4, and isn't it the default for a reason?

/me rotfl. On RHEL/Centos, ext3 is the only filesystem available. Not
sure if they will offer ext3 + ext4 with RHEL6. Why?

ext4 is an unproven filesystem. Data loss anyone? Not like ext3 and jfs.
XFS codebase is so blooming big, I am not sure that it will ever reach
the state that ext3 and jfs currently are.

>Data loss anyone?<What evidence do you have that there would be data loss? ext2 and ext3 were used almost immediately after their release as well. The distro maintainers usually do some basic reliability tests or at least have access to such tests. So I would be happy to read any tests you've seen that suggest ext4 is unreliable. To start scaring people with talk of data loss based on random speculation would not be good.

It's a brand-spanking-new filesystem. Fear of data loss is natural and
understandable.

If you can document this in a bug report it will help the
designers of ext4 to work on their project to speed it up.
I have been working on my wife's Windows XP and it is sure
lazy coming on. They have an early Microsoft add, and then XP
starts to unfold...

When I loaded Karmic Beta I had a choice to use ext3 or ext4.
Grub 2 will run on either file system. This tells me I made a
bad choice going with ext4, but I thought it was fixed by now.
