ext3 uses a journal to keep track of transactions that haven't yet been commited to disk. On a reboot, the ext3 driver will replay the journal to bring the disk state upto date. This is a major improvement from the fsck recovery process in ext2.
Having a UPS with ext2 is a godsend, but with ext3, a UPS helps but its utility is significantly less critical (as far as disk corruption goes). -Naren On Wed, 6 Nov 2002, H S Rai wrote: > Can one run Linux on ext3 file system without UPS, as it does not > force fsck, even on putting PC off without proper shut down? or still > UPS is recommended. > > -- > H.S.Rai > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm > Tungsten T handheld.
