ext3 is a file system that builds on the long stability of the ext2
file
system which is what most Linux distributions used, and still use, up
until ReiserFS came along. ext2 is an improved version of the
original ext
file system from the early Linux days. ext2 has been stable at least
since
1995.
ext3 just add journaling to the ext2 file system and makes it
possible to
later reverse to plain old ext2 without journaling.
ReiserFS is a totally written from scratch file system by Hans
Reiser. It
was the first journaling file system for Linux.
Other new journaling file systems for Linux include JFS from IBM, and
XFS
from Silicon Graphics.
If you need to know what a journaling file system is I suggest Google
as I
don't want to go further into details here.
