Android will be using ext4 starting with Gingerbread

Read Original

The article announces that Android, starting with Gingerbread, will use the ext4 filesystem on new phones like the Nexus S. It discusses the technical rationale, including ext4's better performance on multi-core systems compared to the single-threaded YAFFS, and why btrfs wasn't chosen. It also touches on the importance of correct fsync() usage for data safety on mobile devices.
