While the ext4 filesystem originated a series of patches to the [[ext3]] filesystem, it was later rebranded as a dedicated filesystem design that shares design with [[ext2]] and [[ext3]]. Like ext3, it supports [[journaling]]. Amongst the upgrades are larger maximums (file size, filesystem size, files per folder, folders per folder etc), and features that were inspired from existing filesystems like [[XFS]].
