Yes,ext3 provide journaling in linux.
there are 3 types of journaling provided by ext3
1) Journal-full journal mode,all data can be recovered.
2) Writeback-it only recover metadata(data about data),corrupted file can not be stored.
3) Ordered-recover metadata and specific file data.

Does ext2 provide journaling in Linux?
No, ext2 does not have journaling support. This wasn't added to ext until ext3.
What is ext3 file system?
The Linux ext3 file system is the default system in many linux derivatives. It allows for journalling, which the ext2 system did not. It also allows in-situ upgrades without asking for a backup first.
Why are Linux partitions ext3?
Not all Linux partitions are ext3. It just happens to be the most popular file system. ext3 was created especially for Linux, so it is free from any patent issues involved with some other file systems.
What are the advantages of ext3 file systems?
The main benefit of ext3 over ext2 is that it supports "journaling", which allows for easier recovery of files in the event of corruption or fragmentation. However, it performs poorly against ReiserFS or JFS in this regard. The only major advantage that ext3 has versus these other file systems is that it is backwards-compatible with ext2 tools, which were created before ReiserFS was, or before JFS was available for Linux.
What is the ID of a Linux extended partition?
82 => Linux swap / Solaris 83 => Linux ext2 & ext3 85 => Linux Extended partition
What file system does Red Hat Enterprise Linux use?
ext3 is the default file system for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
How do you access a Linux partition from Windows XP?
There are programs you can download that will read Linux file systems. Common file systems are ext2 and ext3.
When should you specify an ex2 filesystem instead of ext3 when installing Linux?
Only when sharing the filesystem with another Linux system that uses an older filesystem such as ext2.
What is the current standard for Linux file systems?
There is no official standard, but currently most Linux distributions use either ext3 or ext4. Btrfs is looking to be the next de facto standard filesystem for Linux, but seems to be trapped in a very slow development cycle.
What are the 3 most popular Native Linux File Systems?
ext2, ext3, ReiserFS, are some native file systems
Why can't Windows identify ext3 file systems?
Quite simply, because Windows hasn't been programmed to recognise ext-type filesystems. Out of the box, Windows won't be able to identify ext3 and ext2 filesystems, and will probably consider them corrupted. Fortunately, you can install a driver for ext2 and ext3 filesystems into most versions of Windows. It's called ext2 IFS, and is linked below. With this driver installed, you can mount most ext-type partitions as ext2. (NOTE: ext3 is technically not supported. This means that using ext2 IFS will disable journaling, as that's the main difference between ext2 and ext3)
What file is used on a Linux system?
Linux systems have access to a wide range of filesystems, however most Linux distributions default to ext3 or ext4. In the future it is our hope that the "standard" Linux filesystem will be btrfs.Linux supports many different file systems, including ext, ext3, ext4, ReiserFS, Reiser4, JFS, btrfs, and XFS.
