Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub
Please look at http://
I'm looking at ext4 as my primary filesystem. Let's see how and when we can have that in Ubuntu. I know for it to happen we need the kernel 2.6.28 (as and when that comes out), a new version of e2fsprogs as well as grub.
I hope other people link it to the other progs as well.

I use ext4 since the 2.6.22 kernel on 3 PCs (one desktop, one laptop and a server).
never had a single issue with it other than to install Debian's Grub2 (grub-pc package) to boot it without having to create a separate /boot
