=== Ext4 Preview ===
- The new ext4 file system is available in Fedora 9 as a nearly feature complete preview. While an ext3 file system can be mounted as ext4, an ext3 to ext4 conversion tool is planned that converts existing ext3 on-disk format to ext4.

+ Fedora 9 may be installed onto an ext4 filesystem by adding the "ext4" option to the installer boot parameters and selecting custom partitioning. Please note that the e2fsprogs userspace shipping with Fedora 9 is not yet fully ext4-capable; in particular, fsck ability is limited.

Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] features NetworkManager. NetworkManager 0.7 provides improved mobile broadband support, including GSM and CDMA devices, and now supports multiple devices, ad-hoc networking for sharing connections, and the use of system-wide network configuration. It is now enabled by default on all installations. When using NetworkManager, be aware of the following:
- * NetworkManager does not currentlysupport all virtual device types
+ * NetworkManager does not currently support all virtual device types. Users who use bridging, bonding, or VLANs may need to switch to the old `network` service after configuration of those interfaces.

Please [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora file bugs] about cases where this is necessary, so we can fix the applications in question.

Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] features the Upstart initialization system. All System V init scripts should run fine in compatibility mode. However, users who have made customizations to their `/etc/inittab` file will need to port those modifications to upstart. For information on how upstart works, see the `init(8)` and `initctl(8)` man pages. For information on writing upstart scripts, see the `events(5)` man page, and also [http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html the Upstart Getting Started Guide].
