I tried ext4 for a while on a pilot myth backend under Fedora 9 and had<br>
several corruption problems. Went back to other file systems (ext3,<br>
reiser, jfs) and have had no problems since.<br>

I know that them declaring it stable is no guarantee, but before they declared it stable basically means there were still known bugs or features missing. So having problems with an unstable release of ext4 would be no surprise. <br>
