[CentOS] Is EXT4 filesystem production ready in CenTOS 5.x series?
Hi Guys, We run CENTOS 5.8 in some of our servers. We would like to know whether EXT4 filesystem is ready for production use in CENTOS 5.8 OS? We couldn't find ext4 utility mkfs.ext4 in our CENTOS 5.8 servers. Can anyone help us?

I've already migrated to using XFS for my larger file systems with EL6, and just use ext4 for the system itself. -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast
