ext2 file system
The ext2 (second extended filesystem) is a type of file system used by Linux computers to organize and store data on a hard drive. It manages files and directories efficiently, keeping track of where data is located on the storage device. Ext2 is known for its simplicity, reliability, and good performance, especially on devices where data integrity and speed matter. It does not have features like journaling (which helps recover from crashes), making it faster but less fault-tolerant compared to newer systems. Overall, ext2 provides a solid foundation for data storage in Linux environments.
