I am about to install ubuntu/mythbuntu on a new server and now that ubuntu jaunty/9.04 has ext4 I was wondering if I should use ext4 for the OS and/or myth data partitions. What do you think?<br>

How important is your data? I'm all for trying new things, but not at the expense of losing something that I feel is very valuable. If you don't care that much about the data I say to go for it since it offers some great benefits over ext3 but if losing the new episode of LOST (that's still popular, right?) would mean the end of your relationship, I'd let someone else use it for a while first. :)</blockquote>
<div><br>I wouldn't care if I lost LOST, but I don't watch or record any of that reality tv stuff. I would care if I lost data, but I have nightly backups of everything I need. Those backups don't include the myth recordings because if it's any good it will probably get replayed. <br>
<br>I think I will go with ext4 for the OS partition and stick with the XFS for the myth data partitions. That way if ext4 screws up I won't lose more than a day of data. <br><br></div></div><br>Thanks,<br>Chuck<br>
