<br><br>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><br></blockquote>

As others have said it is up to you weather you want to take the risk of using a newer file system. I am tempted to give it a try when I update my ubuntu box to 9.04.<br>
