ext3转ext4（ext3转ext4） Using tune2fs to convert ext3 to ext4 Using tune2fs to convert from ext3 to ext4 is not complicated at all. Without formatting the partition, it doesnt destroy the original data. It only needs two commands to complete. Its a painless conversion. Features of the ext4 file system Support Extent Ext4 supports Extent, file storage, using multiple contiguous blocks. The block that records the contents of the file records the location and length of the initial block of each extent, rather than the traditional record of each block location, saving much metadata space. When you read file content and allocate space, you can process multiple blocks at once, reduce the number of input / output operations, and greatly speed up system performance. The use of Extent also reduces the chance of external fragmentation. So why do many friends obviously feel a significant improvement in system performance after upgrading to ext4?. Break storage limit Ext4 file system storage limit size from ext3 to 1EB; single file size increased from 2TB to 16 TB, Ext2/Ext3 directory size can not be the most 32KB, Ext4 2TB canceled this limit. With the B-Tree directory index, it greatly reduces the time to search files in large directories. Do not think TB/EB space concept is very far away, in fact, many enterprises now have to upgrade the size of the data to the TB level, and if it is to provide storage services business, upgrade to the EB level is bound to. Nanosecond high accurate time The only time the traditional Ext2/Ext3 data files in seconds as the smallest unit, with multi core (multi-core) and cluster (clustering) technology development, Ext4 time to file the accuracy of data provided to the nanosecond time range, also increased 2 bits to Ext4 time record enough over the next 500 years in use. In fact, ext4 is not a patent for fedora11, and all distributions are available using the ext4 filesystem as long as they are 2.6.28 or newer kernels. To solve the grub in the ext
