What will be the correct way to migrate ext3 to ext4 going from 5.5 to 5.6? Will something after the update ask if you want to migrate the file systems? Looking forward to some file system speed ups with large files.
Thanks

Based on experienced with other systems (ubuntu etc) a rebuild would be teh best way if you want to move from one to the other (or a full backup of disk then restore all the files) due to existing files on the ext3 system not gaining the benefits from ext4 - only new files.
Personally I'm skipping such an extensive change until Centos 6 is due and I'll need to test on that anyway - and can verify an appropriate ext4 configuration at the some time.
