Where is the current state of the development of ext4 in Fedora 17?
Best wishes

Fedora 17 will ship the 3.3 Linux kernel. The only major change for
ext4 in 3.3 I've heard about is improved online resizing support:

In the 3.2 kernel shipped as an update to Fedora 16, ext4 gained
support for larger block sizes:

Other than that, I can find no other major changes in ext4 since F16
dropped. HTH.
