[q] ext4 question? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! I just want to know what is the EXT4 that is saying in most of the ROMS like "homebase", "Aura" and etc.? And what is the EXT4 CONVERTER With fauxs kernel that is in the homebase additional downloads? Does the ROM that you choose automatically convert your filesystem to EXT4? thanks

1) Yes you can .
2) The ext4 manager is usedun conjunction with CF-Root to make all your partitions convert from RFS to Ext4

[Q]How to format file system to EXT4

How to format file system to EXT4?
Get a kernel that supports ext4 and flash it. It may or may not format your filesystem to ext4, depending on its update script.
Or, better yet, flash a ROM with a kernel with ext4 support.
You can find links in the Android Development section.

Converting to ext4

Well I searched around and didn't find any concrete answer (different threads, different answers).
I heard that converting your internal filesystem from rfs to ext4 will make the Ace faster, is this true?
If true, how do I convert to ext4 without breaking anything since I don't want to reflash.
I am currently running Grif's CM7.1 with TurboBoost 8.5 and SlaidfastMod.
depend/on the sdcard class
slow sdcard slow performance
fast sdcard fast performance
how to its easy
use gparted to do it

if you are running cyanogenmod then 99.99% chances are that its ext4 only
CM7 AFAIK already use ext4 filesystem.
Type mount in android terminal emulator. to find out filesystem type.
Is that so? Is there a way to check if it's ext4?

They are Linux file systems. You can find a lot of info on them. Here's a starting point.

For the purposes of small systems like the Atrix, not much gain for ext4. Ext4 gives you some additional features that make sense for larger files (GB), something more than the 300-800MB partitions on the Atrix.
It's kind of like the comparison between FAT32 and NTFS. Both are old and crappy, but still in use due to legacy.
Cheers!
