Ext3 is an extension of the [Ext2] filesystem, currently adding journalling support. To turn your [Ext2] file systems into Ext3 file systems run the command: tune2fs -j /dev/''partition'' then change fstab(5) to mount the partition as Ext3. Ext3 is also gaining some features such as Extents (which reduces the amount of overhead with storing where a file is stored on the disk for large files), and hash based lookups on Directories solving the problem ext2 has with large directories being very slow.
