Securing Debian Manual: 3.2.1.1 Selecting the appropriate file systems

2012-03-08 Thread Stayvoid
Hello. During the system partitioning you also have to decide which file system you want to use. The default file system selected in the Debian installation for Linux partitions is ext3, a journaling file system. [1] This manual covers only ext-related features. Should I use ext4 instead of ext3

Probably. ext4 is mature and stable enough that I don't think it makes sense to use ext3. Unless, of course, some policy dictates or you are preserving an existing legacy partition, I would go with ext4. I just rebuilt my workstation and used ext4 for all, and all of the boxes we are building at
