Root What does turning ext2 to ext3 do?

[Genyc07]

When partitioning a sd card what is it to turn ext2 to ext3. Mine keeps saying Oops....something went wrong! If its not important i won't stress it but seems weird. this was a new out of the box 32gb sd. Any ideas?

It will create a third file extention. Exactly how to describe it is beyond me, but if you understand Linux, then you may understand this:
Linux File Systems: Ext2 vs Ext3 vs Ext4

Someone else may be able to better explain it for you than I can.
I think argedion may be able to help here too. Perhaps I can rattle his cage a minute j/k there argedion

technically there isnt much more I could tell you than the article Mike has already produced for you. The file systems handle things a tad differently. If your formatting for your phone you should go Fat 32 as its the most compatible file system to go with. Its also the easiest as it does not hold permissions in its instructions like ext2,3,4 or an ntfs. this is really nice when going from one device to another and when going from a device to a computer. If you never plan on using any kind of windows with the card and will strictly be using Linux then you can go with ext2 as that is the most common Linux system to use with usb thumb drives and micro SDCARDS as it has no journaling and doesn't need as much space as its cousins 3 and 4
