Hi

Note that Fedora 11 Alpha uses ext4 as the default filesystem and has 
experimental support for btrfs as well.

"Linux Magazine has put up a  video of Ted Tso, one of the primary 
developers of Ext4 and current CTO of Linux Foundation, on the current 
state of Ext4, the current plan of Fedora to have it as the default 
filesystem for Fedora 11, how it compares to Btrfs, and other insights. 
Ted says that Ext4 is close to production-ready being built on the 
mature and stable Ext3 codebase and being an evolutionary step that 
brings in additional performance and scalability. Btrfs is a completely 
new filesytem developed from scratch with a number of  new features like 
filesystem level snapshots that Ext4 could not accommodate. Ext4 is well 
on its way to becoming the next standard filesystem for Linux while 
allowing Btrfs to innovate more and mature over time."
