Public bug reported:

When the old code is disabled the ext4 driver takes over and does a
better job and gives a smaller kernel.  Specifically the ext4 driver
does a better job of resisting fragmentation since it uses delayed
allocation, and supports online resize, whereas the ext2 driver does
not.

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
