Funny suggestion, having in mind that the latest Red Hat went with XFS. I 
had a bad experience with e4defrag and consider it inferior to the XFS. 
Here is the relevant part of my fstab:

/dev/mapper/fedora-root /                       ext4    defaults        1 
1
UUID=28c8bb15-8ea7-440a-9d7a-5cf7da3f7c76 /boot                   ext4    
defaults        1 2
/dev/mapper/fedora-home /home                   xfs     noatime,nobarrier 
0 0
/dev/mapper/fedora-swap swap                    swap    defaults        0 
0
/dev/sdb1 /misc                                 xfs	noatime,nobarrier  
0 0
/dev/sdb2 /data                                 xfs	noatime,nobarrier  
0 0
/dev/sdb3 /vbox                                 xfs	noatime,nobarrier  
0 0
[mgogala@medo ~]$ 

Wherever I could have avoided Ext4, I did.
