it looks like, I cannot format a partition as ext4 while install. I thought upstream has ext4 fully supported in 5.6? I looked in release notes but only found reference to ext4 in RHEL5.6
From http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html-single/5.6...
As of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 the ext4 file system is fully supported. However, provisioning ext4 file systems with the anaconda installer is not supported, and ext4 file systems need to be provisioned manually after the installation.
Thx Tom for making this clear.
You're welcome.
At the risk of spreading FUD, I'd use mfs.ext4 rather than mke4fs: http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-list/2011-February/msg00032.html
Soon enough (and I'm *NOT* complaining about the pace of development) you'll be able to select ext4 in anaconda in CentOS 6. It may even be the default although I could be confusing Fedora with RHEL 6...
