Has anyone on the list looked at the options with ext3 to improve
performance.

My understanding is that changing some of the paramaters... Ie
data=ordered and data=writeback options?

Well SuSE looks to be changing what it will be supporting and why it is
supporting it. [As a note at the bottom says.. this is a proposal and

I am guessing that the big things to push for in ext4 development will
be dynamic inodes and no 8TB limit.
