Extended file system
Encyclopedia : E : EX : EXT : Extended file system
The extended file system or ext was the first file system created specifically for the Linux operating system. It was designed by Rémy Card to overcome certain limitations of the Minix file system and originally competed with Xiafs as its potential replacement. Both, however, were quickly supplanted by ext2 and then ext3.
