Determining ext4 or ext2 rom support

Im in love with this BootManager multiboot app, Does anyone know how to tell if the Roms support EXT4 as opposed to EXT2? I hate opting for a ext4 install only to get hung up during bootup and have to redo the process in ext2.
Ive tried different kernels as well so Im assuming it may lie deeper within the rom. Any insight is appreciated

[q] ext4 question?

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

You have three questions lets make them numerical..
1.) http://bit.ly/rjxoTd
2.) converts filesystem to ext4
3.) no. unless it says it does, then yes.

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?

Just in case you missed it.

Does the Rezound actually benefit from Ext3 and Ext4 modifications? If so, what are the differences over stock?

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!
