EXT3 vs EXT4
I have not upgraded to 4.2.22 yet since the only benefit for me would be support for EXT4. The other fixes don't apply to how I use the NAS currently and of course I don't want to take a chance on in...

Ah, good point. Should have noticed which forum it was in.
Unless you are having problems backing up to your EXT3 formatted USB disk I can't see much point changing to using EXT4. EXT4 adds support for files larger than 2TB in size and volumes above 16TB in capacity amongst other things. The first wouldn't be needed by many users and the latter is impossible with the USB drives available today.
