The default file system in Windows is NTFS, and the default file system in Ubuntu Linux is EXT4. The purpose of today's 30 Days With Ubuntu Linux post is to try and understand what the difference is, and whether or not you should care.

Early on in the 30 Days With Ubuntu Linux series, there were some comments that took issue with the fact that I had installed Ubuntu over Windows using Wubi.exe . One of the primary reasons behind that complaint is that in doing so I was running Ubuntu from a drive formatted using NTFS rather than one using EXT4.

What's the big deal? Well, theoretically, an EXT4 drive performs better than an NTFS drive, and the commenters were concerned that I would judge any sub-par performance as an issue with Ubuntu rather than recognizing it as a function of the drive format.
