| provides basic support for encrypted swap partitions and non-root
| |
| file systems. To use it, add entries to <code>/etc/crypttab</code> and reference the
| |
| created devices in <code>/etc/fstab</code>.

| === 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 file system by adding the <code>ext4</code> option to the installer boot parameters and selecting custom partitioning.
