ext3 is ext2 with journalling.  Journalling keeps your filesystem in a
consistent state at all times, meaning a crash doesn't force you to
fsck on boot.

With drives getting as cheap as they are, I'm creating a *lot* of 10,
20, 40, even 90 gig filesystems.  fsck even on 10 gig isn't fast.  90
takes an eternity.
