"One major feature present in Fedora 9 will be the ext4 implementation. The new filesystem will not be the default for the distribution, but will be available for users and systems administrators to enable. New functionality includes larger capacities and online defragmentation, for better performance and more reliability. To find out more, we talked with Eric Sandeen, Fedora project member and filesystem developer at Red Hat."

I wonder if other big distributions are perhaps also planning to offer ext4 as an alternative file system, maybe already in the installer, in their upcoming releases? Ubuntu? Debian? Gentoo? openSUSE? Mandriva?
