Tony outlined the problem with upgrading ext3 to ext4, so I have just this to 
add: use ext4. There is no reason, exempting some fears caused by problems in 
early releases, not to use it. It's faster in almost every way. Format ext4 
from the start, and you'll be happy.

I really, really cannot wait for btrfs. :)
