With experimental release of EXT4 in 2.6.19, is it possible it will be in rawhide soon and in FC7 at release time?
Thanks,

And will libpata be enabled by default in FC7 kernels since we're on the topic of new kernel improvements.

It'll be in rawhide, whether it makes it into FC7 depends on how it works out. It may not be as supported throughout the distro as ext2/3 though (ie, you may not be able to install to it), depending again on how quickly it matures.

Yes.
I've been working on getting a rawhide kernel in shape the last few days, it should appear 'real soon now'.

will ext3 partitions be mounted with etx3 or ext4 by default? using ext4 can(will) break dual boot systems (otherlinux/rawhide)

should be ext3.

*anything* could happen in rawhide in the coming weeks.
The faint of heart would be advised not to trust their data to a rawhide kernel anytime soon, as things are going to be a little more experimental than usual, what with the PATA work and ext4.
I'm hoping to get the first 2.6.19 build into rawhide tomorrow. Failing that, saturday.

Since I have this kind of expensive brick ( an HP dc7700 ) sitting on my desktop, I would be interested to test this newer kernel and see if it can boot it.
I am using PXE to boot; is there an easy way to add this kernel to my tftp server?

Just curious if ext4 will be available during any of the test phase. I know the question was asked awhile ago.
