	  Ext4dev is a predecessor filesystem of the next generation
	  extended fs ext4, based on ext3 filesystem code. It will be
	  renamed ext4 fs later, once ext4dev is mature and stabilized.

          Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
          the on-disk format of ext4dev is not the same as ext3 any more:
	  it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit physical block
          numbers. These combined on-disk format changes will allow
	  ext4dev/ext4 to handle more than 16 TB filesystem volumes --
	  a hard limit that ext3 cannot overcome without changing the
          on-disk format.

	  Other than extent maps and 48-bit block numbers, ext4dev also is
          likely to have other new features such as persistent preallocation,
	  high resolution time stamps, and larger file support etc.  These
          features will be added to ext4dev gradually.

	  To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
	  module will be called ext4dev.  Be aware, however, that the filesystem
	  of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot
	  be compiled as a module, and so this could be dangerous.

	  If unsure, say N.

	  Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
