I haven't been really following this since the initial releases, and I have a little question: does EXT4 on DATA prevent boot loops and corruption? Or shit ends up happening like in the initial release with EXT2 on DATA, only later?

**wrathian** · 10-04-2010, 11:54 PM

Yes, EXT4 will prevent such things.

*sigh*
I am just against the 100 post.

@Beje: It suppose to prevent it (Because of journaling is enabled with EXT4)

Thanks! I wasn't in the mood of checking hundreds of pages. Looks like EXT4 is good enough, and not just a temporary patch that only delayed the unavoidable as I feared. Now I just have to wait until we have propper support in CM6's Recovery :P

i want to apply this lagfix, but i dont know is it stable enough for day to day use, since i only have one phone for my primary use.....(but i do want speed improvement on my spica, not a higher quadrant score)

is there anyone who tested this lagfix for maybe 1 week for stability?

@ribbon:
Give this try,
eremount rw
or
mount -t ext4 -o rw /dev/stl6 /system

change ext4/ext3/ext2 as your system.

Thanks, do you mean i must convert /system to ext2 or ext3 or ext4, ah i see in Xmister script the command like yours.
Is "mount -t extx -o rw /dev/xyz /abc" effect to convert abc (xyz) to extx format?

Thanks gain!
