what is ext2/ext3/ext4?

[excalion]

Can someone tell me what is ext2/ext3/ext4, what are their functions in the android OS, specifically the Droid?

Also, are they included/implemented by default P3's kernels or any of the custom roms? And if not, how would I go about doing it?

Thanks

These are file systems, journaling files systems to be exact.

Yes I know, I've been on all of those pages already. My questions are about the droid specifically, not just a general idea of what they are.

Did you ever get an answer? I'm curious too... once you create them, then WHAT??

Prime's kernels in the cyanogenmod section supports all of those. Those extensions ext2/3/4 are for when you partition your SD card for swappable storage using links2sd or a comparable program.
