Hi Zoltan!
That's very good to know! This causes Tivoli FastBack to be scrapped from the

Subject: Re: Cristie BMR vs Tivoli Fastback for BMR
We looked into using Tivoli FastBack but were completely surprised when it
didn't support ext4 filesystems or filesystems >2TB! From the "*FastBack
Client and BMR Hardware Requirements"*
Linux Client only supports Simple & Simple LVM volumes. File system
supports: EXT2, EXT3 and Reiser FS
