The last time that I had played with ext4 the Linux filesystem tools

mention an improvement in the situation.

It would help if you stated when you last used ext4 and if you intend to
migrate from ext3 or create new partitions. I've not had any issues with
ext4 since 9.10; since Karmic it's been the default file system and is
now part of the Linux kernel. The e2fsprogs utilities seem to work
well.

However, I read that there are some issues if you're migrating from
earlier Ubuntu releases.

You may like to check out the following:
