Hi, I have a portable HDD of 120 GB. Should I go for an XFS or an ext4 on it? Will ext4 be recognized by most of the current GNU/Linux systems? I think its tied to the Kernel, right? I am using Debian Lenny and my Kernel version is 2.6.24. I read from Wikipedia that a development snapshot of ext4 was added in Kernel version 2.6.19 and its stable code was merged in 2.6.28. Can I create a stable ext4 partition on my HDD using my Debian ? I don't have an ext4 option in fdisk or in gparted.
