    Ext3 is an updated version of the Linux Ext2 file system that adds journaling to improve reliability. It was developed by Stephen Tweedie and merged into the Linux kernel in 2001. Journaling records pending file system changes, which eliminates the need to check the file system after an unclean shutdown. Ext2 and Ext3 remain the default Linux file systems, with Ext3 utilizing the same basic structures as Ext2 but adding journaling to enhance reliability.

    LINUX FILE SYSTEM

    • Stephen Tweedie first revealed that he was working on extending


    ext2 in Journaling the Linux ext2fs File system in 1998 [2] paper and
    later in a February 1999 kernel mailing list posting[3] and the
    filesystem was merged with the mainline Linux kernel in November
    2001 from 2.4.15 onward.[4] Its main advantage over ext2 is
    journaling which improves reliability and eliminates the need to
    check the file system after an unclean shutdown. Ext2 and Ext3 are
    the default Linux file system.
    • Ext3 is the new version of Ext2 and adds journaling mechanism, but
    the basic structures are the same.
    • The metadata is stored throughout the file system, and the
    metadata which is associated with a file are stored “near” it
