In the past I have seen ext2 saves time during boot vs ext3.Having a
journal is no use since the files are rarely changed and the
filesystem is mostly opened read only. The journal takes up some
space. These may matter to you if you are trying to optimize boot
times or disk usage.
Then use ext4 without a journal. ext2 is out of date and ext4 is
superior in every aspect.
Ext2
Ext2 stands for second extended file system.
It was introduced in 1993. Developed by Rémy Card.
This was developed to overcome the limitation of the original ext file
system.
Ext2 does not have journaling feature.
On flash drives, usb drives, ext2 is recommended, as it doesn’t need to
do the over head of journaling.
Maximum individual file size can be from 16 GB to 2 TB
Overall ext2 file system size can be from 2 TB to 32 TB
Have a look at entry 5.
