So basically, the fact that ext4 simply does not work in Ubuntu Jaunty
should be in the release notes? Maybe you should just be honest with
the upcoming user base and simply disable it until it does work.
Delivering something known to be so broken rather than simply failing to
deliver, IMHO, is the worse option.
If people really want/need ext4 and it's a deciding factor in choosing a
distro, they should be allowed to evaluate their choices without the
smoke and mirrors that it works in Ubuntu. Don't waste their time.
I'm not sure why this is not being resolved anyway. Ted gave some
awesome advise into tracking down this bug and some other people spent a
significant portion of their own valuable time to do most of the grunt
work. Why are the results of those efforts not being put towards fixing
the problem and making a release that works?
