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!

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.
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.

Questions go to the Q&A ..
I gave it a try of formatting the external microsd to ext3/4 but it appears that vold on the stock rom (and roms based on it) does not support ext4
If you neext ext3/4 support on the microSD you will need to use a CM9 based rom
Hi,
im using CM10. How did you do that and are there any restrictions???
How do we format our cards to ext4?

It seems that auto mount its not implemented for ext file system on android. At least I discovered that on my tablet when I tried to copy files on an ext3 hard drive. It's a shame as ext is the default filesystem for android...
I had to mount it manually. There are guides on the net. It's the classical mount Linux command. To automate it you should add a script in init.d folder. There must be examples on the net too.

Was the original filesystem Ext4 or F2FS on the Moto E's Data partition?
Also does it support any other filesystems?
Its been too long I don't remember.

F2FS is the original file system of data partition. System and cache partition filesystem is Ext4.

I have a really bad memory, I was doing a ton of trouble shooting to figure out why I couldn't switch it back to Ext4.
Almost bricked the thing doing a bunch of tests, though I learned alot about the recovery process. >_>
All because I couldn't remember the original filesystem was F2FS on data.
Thank you. xD
If I remember, is ext4.
