BEXT3Correct

EXT3 (Extended File System 3) is a journaling file system that was a widely adopted native file system for the Linux operating system, which is a prominent example of a *nix system. It offered improved reliability and performance over its predecessor, EXT2, due to its journaling capabilities.
