I upgraded F10 to F11 successfully. Then I upgraded the filesystem in the following steps:
  1. login as root user in multi user mode
  2. read http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.ph...system_to_ext4, and execute
    tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00
  3. modify /etc/fstab, change the type of / to ext4
  4. ========== reboot ==========
    (because fsck say running it on a mounted filesystem can cause filesystem damage, so i decide to reboot to single user mode first. maybe it's a mistake here)
  5. try to boot F11 to single user mode, failed
  6. ======== reboot from a SystemRescueCD-1.2.0 LiveCD ======
  7. run e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00 in SystemRescueCD-1.2.0 LiveCD, no error reported
  8. ======== reboot ======
  9. try to boot F11 normally(multi user mode), but it failed at: EXT3-fs: dm-0: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (40).
I tried rescue mode of Fedora-11-i386-netinst.iso after these steps above. The / partition can be found and mounted to /mnt/sysimage correctly. I can read/write files in / partition, and i can even yum new softwares in rescue mode, but it just can't be mounted when booting.
