When creating/formatting the ext4 filesystem, make sure to add -O ^extent which means disabling the “extent” feature bit. The following steps will not work if your ext4 filesystem still has “extent” feature enabled. ext2 and ext3 partitions should be fine. Download ext2fsd here. Right-click the downloaded file and click Properties.

2023年4月5日 · I would like to be able to read and write on EXT4 volumes in Windows 10. So far only paid applications can do this which is a bummer. After some googling, found that WSL2 can mount ext4 for read/write. Then was met with another roadblock, WSL2 for Windows 10 does not have this mount command.

2023年3月12日 · But since the format is ext4 it is more likely for linux users who sometimes have to use windows to have that problem. Definitively not. GNU/Linux users sometimes sharing data with Windows use Windows friendly file systems, easier and more straightforward. Windows users needing to mount Ext4 partitions could find useful the post. That's it.

XFS and ext4 are pretty similar in performance, when looking at all 4. Btrfs is by far the slowest, and ZFS is the fastest if you have enough resources and tune it correctly. Here's my take on Red Hat: XFS is a mature filesystem (much older than ext4) that excels with larger files, such as you'd find more commonly in an enterprise environment.

2013年6月14日 · "Ext4 doesn't need defragmentation" is an oversimplification. I observed 17% fragmentation in OpenMediaVault in a large file NAS (30+ GB per file). It seems to depend on the design of the OS and its use of ext4 rather than a blanket "never defragment". I can't say whether it significantly affects performance. –

Hey fellow GNU/Linux enthusiasts, I'd like to know your opinions about using Ext4 vs BTRFS. I'm going to reinstall Artix and I want to make the right choice. I'm currently using BTRFS but I really don't use snapshots or any other feature that BTRFS provides but Ext4 doesn't. I just used BTRFS for the kicks and giggles.

2021年11月2日 · I wouldn't be surprised if ext4+LVM snapshots turns out slower than btrfs; even in databse workloads. Databases with FS snapshots would be a prime use-case for ZFS though. LVM/MD has raid. And even working parity RAID. I've found it to be quite inflexible though w.r.t. mismatched drive sizes, resizing and adding/removing drives.

I want to use ext4 on my external HDD, but it must be cross-platform. (At least Linux, Win7 & WinXP). Unfortunately, I haven't found any proper driver allowing Windows to WRITE to ext4. I've found Ext2Fsd, but it only reads ext4. 9. ext4 extent read-only, no size truncating and expanding support. More: Supported Ext3/4 features:

2010年8月4日 · The website says it supports recovery from ext2/ext3 filesystems, but probably won't hurt giving it a try for your disk. This software is very easy to use IMHO, if you follow the instructions on the website. By the way, if you're not sure if it works for ext4, I …

EXT4 it's considered the reference filesystem of linux. It's developed from basically the first real filesystem that linux got (being it's 4th version) and most other filesystems have some references to ext4 here and there as a result . As such, it's considered the most stable filesystem.
