Default Difference between ext2 and ext3 Linux file system

Another question asked by newbie - what is the Difference between ext2 and ext3 file system?
Quote:
Ext3 filesystem is nothing but next version of ext2 filesystem with journaling support. Ext3 has been structurally implemented same as ext2 so they have same data structures. The most important difference between Ext2 and Ext3 is that Ext3 supports journaling which allows fast recovery from disk problems. You also get reliability and a better performance with ext3. Ext3 is designed to take care of both metadata and data.
