Is ext4 "production-ready"? I know it was declared stable in 2.6.28 but I still see more ext4 patches than ext3 in the kernel. Maybe it's just because ext4 is newer? Is ext4 ready to fully replace ext3 without any data losses? What about mission-critical machines or should we wait untill 2.6.31 just to be sure?
If you have mission-critical machines, then you don't use Fedora for them anyway, right? ;-) Then you should install RHEL 5.3 (or some of its variants) which has ext4 as a Technology Preiew (i.e., not supported by RH yet).
Make your own conclusions. However, as with all similar situation, no-one will do testing of your needs for you.
