Second extended filesystem

Second Extended Filesystem (ext2) is a system used by computers to organize and store data on a hard drive efficiently. Think of it as a well-structured filing cabinet where files are stored in folders, making it easy to find and manage your data. Ext2 manages disk space, keeps track of files, and ensures data integrity. It was widely used in Linux systems before newer versions like ext3 and ext4 improved on features like journaling and performance. Overall, ext2 provides a reliable way for an operating system to handle files and storage media.
