Recently upgraded from ubuntu 9.04 jaunty to 9.10 karmic koala. 9.10 ships with ext4 file system but i still notice that after the upgrade the partition still says as ext3.

If you just upgrade, will remain ext3, as it was originally formatted . You must do a fresh install and choose ext4 as filesystem.

You can mount an EXT3 file-system as EXT4 or you can upgrade without reformatting.
