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

19	  The ext4 filesystem will support mounting an ext3
20	  filesystem; while there will be some performance gains from

23	  filesystem, or formatting a new filesystem as an ext4
24	  filesystem initially.
