Correct Answer:
Verified

Microsoft created FAT32 to support larger hard drives. This file system uses 32-bit cluster numbers (of which 28 bits are currently used). In theory, the 28-bit sector address should permit about 268,435,438 clusters, which allows drive sizes of approximately 2 terabytes (about 2 trillion bytes). However, Microsoft chose to limit the cluster count. For Windows 10, the partition limit is 32 GB for the primary partition.

The Extended 4 file system, adds robustness through a greater implementation of journalizing, faster time-stamping, faster file system checking, and inode structure extents, which replace the traditional block mapping scheme used by the ext2 and ext3 file systems, and afford even less chance of fragmentation than other Linux systems. Ext4 also offers larger file system support-a 48-bit block as opposed to ext3's 32-bit block.

The Linux Extended 3 file system added what feature to the Ext2 file system to provide a fail-safe mechanism to ensure data is written to the hard drive?
