ext3 was designed to be a minimal change to ext2, offering journaling
for fast recovery but no other new features.  

ext3 therefore has largely the same features as ext2: things like ACLs
in the 2.6 ext2 tree are in ext3 too.

The only other things I can think of that mark ext3 out over ext2 are
that the ext3 default ordered journaling mode provides guarantees
against seeing "stale" data in a file after a crash; and that the
"htree" fast directory indexing code in 2.6's ext3 is not in ext2.

Cheers,
 Stephen
