ext3 is ext2 + journaling of data and metadata.  In the default
settings it is slower than other journaling filesystems because it
guarantees a higher level of consistency during a catastrophic event
(system crash or more likely power failure). As a result I would
recommend ext2 for this operation as it does not have a journal.
