A new Linux filesystem gets rid of the 256-petabyte limit, and adds a checksum feature for the journal. But developers want you to know that it's not yet ready for production sytems.

The ext4 filesystem used in Linux systems, for example, is a journaling file system which means it keeps a journal of where files are located on a drive and journals changes that happen on the drive.

So a couple people (drag, I think?) labeled XFS as particularly "robust" and fast and, presumably, awesome. OK. This is not an argument, this is a question: if it's more robust than ext4, why are ...

Most Linux systems today use a file system type called ext4. The “ext” part stands for “extended” and the 4 indicates that this is the 4th generation of this file system type.

Filesystems > 16TB are a bit scary with ext4. The filesystem supports it, but the userspace tools may or may not - I'd strongly advise doing some actual testing.

The default file system used in Ubuntu Linux--EXT4--is widely accepted as delivering superior performance to the NTFS file system used in Windows--today we explore why.

Deleted File Recovery for the Linux File System (Ext4): Finding the State-of-the-Art In a digital forensics investigation, deleted file re-covery (DFR) can play a critical role. Apart from forensic ...

The Ext4 file system is widely used in Linux environments. However, deleted files are not immediately erased from the disk, making recovery possible through forensic techniques.

In a digital forensics investigation, deleted file re-covery (DFR) can play a critical role. Apart from forensic investigation scenarios, DFR can also benefit a regular user if she wants to recover an ...
