Extended file system

Extended file system

The extended file system, ext or ext1 was invented in April 1992 and 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.

It is the first of the extended file systems. It was superseded by both ext2 and xiafs, between which there was a competition, which ext2 won because of its long-term viability.

Other extended file systems

There are other members in the extended file system family:

* Ext2, the second extended file system
* Ext3, the third extended file system
* Ext4, the fourth extended file system
