Ted Ts’o sent out the EXT4 updates today for Linux 6.11. He explained in that pull request:

“Many cleanups and bug fixes in ext4, especially for the fast commit feature. Also some performance improvements; in particular, improving IOPS and throughput on fast devices running Async Direct I/O by up to 20% by optimizing jbd2_transaction_committed().”

    I still use it (Ext4) exclusively and its great. How can you have a hard time with Ext4? It’s the most proven and most polished FS. Its not like slowing down your system or being buggy or like that.

      Same here. Ext4 is an excellent general purpose file systems and a sensible default. It lacks features that are useful, even critical, for some use cases which sometimes rules it out but it certainly isn’t obsolete.
