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.

You're right. I'm also considering switching to ext4 (home pc) with f11 but i don't wan't to spend time figuring out what's wrong if something really goes wrong. there are othe threads in the enternet but no ditro is shipping with ext4 as default. And I'm wondering if it's so much better then the good old ext3.
Fedora 11 is shipping with ext4 as default. :)
As to whether it's better, it is in many ways, but it's up to you to determine that for your use case of course.
