I would say no at this time---It's not very long until 10.04 when ext4 will be the standard, which will render the point moot. I'm currently with 9.10 have used ext4 from it's early release. It has matured very well looks ready for wide deployment with the next LTS. -- In order to support

So the optimum future is to merge libblkid and libvolume_id; we only need one library. Has someone already created an issue in launchpad for this, so we can all track its progress? I would like to see that this topic is not forgotten. Can't have Ubuntu regressing to a more windows like state

Thank you Scott-- That explains in a way that makes sense to me--As of right now, having EXT4 work with the system in it's present form is far better that not having it working at all.I do look forward to the day that both libraries are blended together to avoid the reboot to see change
