hm, since your root fs is ext4, well then I guess that is safe...

not sure what this variable does. Are you sure it is safe?

anyway, are you sure that the ext4 support itself is already enabled?
either as built in (=Y) or module (=m). If you choose to make it as
module, don't forget to rebuild the initrd/initramfs. Usually "make
install" in the kernel source tree will take care of that.

not sure what to say here...but I guess that warning is normal because
ext4 is not really backward compatible to ext3/2
