Red Hat’s New Journaling File System: ext3
Nov 1, 2001 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — 2 viewsRed Hat has published an online technical whitepaper about the new ext3 journaling file system which is now available as a standard feature within Red Hat Linux 7.2 . . .
“In Red Hat Linux 7.2, Red Hat provides its first officially supported journaling file system: ext3. The ext3 file system is a set of incremental enhancements to the robust ext2 file system that provide several advantages. This paper summarizes some of those advantages (first in general terms and then more specifically), explains what Red Hat has done to test the ext3 file system, and (for advanced users only) touches on tuning.”
“Other journaling file systems are being written for Linux; this paper does not address them in any way and is not intended to compare ext3 to any other journaling file system.”
