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

148
149 Unlike the change from ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem,
150 the on-disk format of ext4dev is not the same as ext3 any more:
151 it is based on extent maps and it supports 48-bit physical block
152 numbers. These combined on-disk format changes will allow
153 ext4dev/ext4 to handle more than 16 TB filesystem volumes --
154 a hard limit that ext3 cannot overcome without changing the
155 on-disk format.

1130 The BeOS File System (BeFS) is the native file system of Be, Inc's
1131 BeOS. Notable features include support for arbitrary attributes
1132 on files and directories, and database-like indices on selected
1133 attributes. (Also note that this driver doesn't make those features
1134 available at this time). It is a 64 bit filesystem, so it supports
1135 extremely large volumes and files.

1138 of the NLS (native language support) options below.
