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