Geek stuff: the new ext4 filesystem on my Ubuntu setup keeps freezing. Not sure whether or not I should reformat the partition to ext3 or if I should wait for an update. Either way, grrrrrrr.

Yeah, I was afraid that that would be the answer. :(

I'm pretty sure that wasn't English.

It's not. It's geek talk. Worse, it's Linux geek talk. :D

ext4 is faster, but definitely less stable & needs more work. I had an ext4 file system corrupt already & I lost all data on it (which shouldn't happen). Stick with ext3 for now.

Thankfully, everything is backed up. It's just a pain to reinstall all my favorite apps.

Steven, if these are apps you installed via apt or synaptic, you can back up a list and reinstall them all again with one command.

Really? That's good, because I usually install all of my apps from the command line using apt. I'll find out how to do that from the Ubuntu forums and reinstall the partition over the holiday weekend.

Something like this should work: http://www.debianadmin.com/clone-y...

So, how did it go?
- Michael R. Bernstein
Haven't done it yet. We're recording a podcast tonight, so after I finish with the editing, I'll give it a go.
