74 | help | ||
75 | This is the journalling 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 journalling 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/>). | ||

144 | This is the next generation of the ext3 filesystem. | ||
145 | |||
146 | Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem, | ||
147 | the on-disk format of ext4 is not forwards compatible with | ||
148 | ext3; it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit | ||
149 | physical block numbers. The ext4 filesystem also supports delayed | ||
150 | allocation, persistent preallocation, high resolution time stamps, | ||
151 | and a number of other features to improve performance and speed | ||
152 | up fsck time. For more information, please see the web pages at | ||
153 | http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org. | ||
154 | |||
155 | The ext4 filesystem will support mounting an ext3 | ||
156 | filesystem; while there will be some performance gains from | ||
157 | the delayed allocation and inode table readahead, the best | ||
158 | performance gains will require enabling ext4 features in the | ||
159 | filesystem, or formating a new filesystem as an ext4 | ||

171 | Starting with 2.6.28, the name of the ext4 filesystem was | ||

174 | "ext4dev" hardcoded. | ||
