Definition: ext2/ext3: ext2 file systems support large drive and disk partitions, along with added speed and reliability enhancements over previous UNIX file systems. Ext3 file systems add support for journalling to the ext2 file system, which alleviates lengthy file system checks (fsck) at bootup after a sudden system crash, reset, or power loss.
