Marka la eego cutubkan ku saabsan ext3, ii sheeg sababta ay uga fiicantahay ext2 iyo kan ka dambeeyay.
Context:ext3, ama nidaamka faylasha ee saddexaad ee la kordhiyay, waa nidaam faylasha oo loo yaqaan 'journaling file system' kaas oo sida caadiga ah loo isticmaalo kernel-ka Linux. Waxay ahaan jirtay nidaamka faylasha ee caadiga ah ee noocyo badan oo caan ah Linux. Stephen Tweedie wuxuu markii ugu horeysay shaaca ka qaaday inuu ka shaqeynayo kordhinta ext2 Journaling the Linux ext2fs Filesystem warqad 1998 ah, ka dibna bishii Febraayo 1999 liiska boostada ee kernel. Nidaamka faylasha waxaa lagu daray Linux kernel bishii Nofeembar 2001 laga bilaabo 2.4.15 wixii ka dambeeyay. Faa'iidada ugu weyn ee ay leedahay marka loo eego ext2 waa journaling, taas oo hagaajinaysa isku halaynta waxayna baabi'ineysaa baahida loo qabo in la hubiyo nidaamka faylka ka dib xiritaanka aan nadiif ahayn. Waxyaabaha ku xiga waa ext4
ext3 way ka fiican tahay ext2 sababtoo ah awoodaheeda joornaalka, taas oo hagaajineysa kalsoonida waxayna baabi'ineysaa baahida loo qabo in la hubiyo nidaamka faylka ka dib xiritaan aan nadiif ahayn. Dhalashada ext3 waa ext4.
