Ext3 is one of the journaling file systems available to use under Linux.

Some of the journaling file systems only deal with meta data and others handle meta data as well as actual data. From my limited knowledge, it would seem that if you want a journaling file system to be able to recover from power outages and the like, it must journal both meta actual data.

Recommended

• (rhk) Common threads: Advanced filesystem implementor's guide, Part 7: Introducing ext3; Daniel Robbins; Nov, 2001 -- part of an eight (or more) part series -- haven't read it, but it seems worthwhile -- maybe we need the Reader's Digest version (here on WikiLearn) -- this article includes links to the other articles and additional resources that may be useful -- some of these cover Reiser's and JFS.

Recommended for Specific Needs

• (rhk) Postfix on an ext3 filesystem -- looks like a good resource, plus it has links to several other resources that sound useful (listed above).
