Ext2 filesystem
The Ext2 filesystem, short for "Second Extended Filesystem," is a type of file storage system commonly used in Linux operating systems. It organizes and manages how files are stored and retrieved on a disk. Ext2 supports large files and efficient access, making it reliable for various applications. While it doesn’t include journaling (a feature that helps recover data after a crash), its simplicity and speed make it a solid choice for many systems. Its design laid the groundwork for later filesystems, such as Ext3 and Ext4, which offer additional features and improvements.
