I already posted a patch that read:
+ Ext3 is a journaling version of the Second extended fs
+ (or just ext2fs), the de facto standard Linux filesystem
+ (method to organize files on a storage device) for block

I can resend with your version, though we have an almost perfect match
as far as the first clause goes. :)
