Firstaidkit is a fully automated recovery application that makes subsystem recovery easier for technical and non-technical users. Firstaidkit is designed to automatically fix problems while focusing on maintaining user data integrity. It is available in rescue mode, on the Fedora Live CD, and on running systems.

Fedora 10 builds on the encrypted file system support that debuted in Fedora 9, and fixes a number of problems that could have resulted in data corruption.

Fedora 9 featured a preview of ext4 support. Fedora 10 brings a fully ext4-compatible e2fsprogs. In addition, the Anaconda partition screen has an ext4 file system option available if you start the installer with the ext4 option at the boot prompt. Fedora 10 also includes delayed allocation for ext4. However, ext4 in Fedora 10 does not currently support file systems larger than 16 TiB.

XFS is now a supported file system and an option within the partitioning screen of Anaconda.
