The ext3 [[:Category:Filesystems|filesystem]], or third extended filesystem, is an extent of the [[ext2|ext2]] filesystem that preceded it. It is a journaled filesystem, and is commonly used in Linux distributions, such as Debian and its variants. It was superseded by [[ext4]]. Lead developer Stephen Tweedie announced that he was making changes to the ext2 filesystem in 1998, and again in a Linux mailing list in Febuary 1999. The filesystem became part of the Linux kernel in November 2001, and has stayed so from 2.4.15 onwards. The major improvement over ext2 is its journaling capabilities, which allow it to be much more stable, and removes the need to check a filesystem for errors after an unclean shutdown.
The ext3 [[:Category:Filesystems|filesystem]], or third extended filesystem, is an [[ext2|ext2]] filesystem with additional features. It most notably includes support for [[journaling]].
