75 | This is the journaling version of the Second extended file system | |
76 | (often called ext3), the de facto standard Linux file system | |
77 | (method to organize files on a storage device) for hard disks. | |
78 | ||
79 | The journaling code included in this driver means you do not have | |
80 | to run e2fsck (file system checker) on your file systems after a | |
81 | crash. The journal keeps track of any changes that were being made | |
82 | at the time the system crashed, and can ensure that your file system | |
83 | is consistent without the need for a lengthy check. | |
84 | ||
85 | Other than adding the journal to the file system, the on-disk format | |
86 | of ext3 is identical to ext2. It is possible to freely switch | |
87 | between using the ext3 driver and the ext2 driver, as long as the | |
88 | file system has been cleanly unmounted, or e2fsck is run on the file | |
89 | system. | |
90 | ||
91 | To add a journal on an existing ext2 file system or change the | |
92 | behavior of ext3 file systems, you can use the tune2fs utility ("man | |
93 | tune2fs"). To modify attributes of files and directories on ext3 | |
94 | file systems, use chattr ("man chattr"). You need to be using | |
95 | e2fsprogs version 1.20 or later in order to create ext3 journals | |
96 | (available at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/e2fsprogs/>). | |
97 | ||
98 | To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the | |
99 | module will be called ext3. Be aware however that the file system | |
