Journaling.

[Bill Rugolsky Jr.]

A good overview of the design of Ext3 and the JBD journaling layer,
by the original author, Dr. Stephen C. Tweedie, can be found here:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/sct/ext3/journal-design.ps.gz 

Some usage notes from Andrew Morton are here:

For more information, see

	Documentation/filesystems/ext3.txt
	Documentation/DocBook/journal-api.tmpl

in the Linux kernel source tree.  The ext3-user mail list is archived in
several places, e.g., 

Downloadable: http://www.redhat.com/archives/ext3-users/
Searchable:   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext3-users

The ext2-devel list also hosts developer discussions regarding ext3:
