EXT2 (pronounced "E-X-T-two"), also known as the Second Extended Filesystem, is not a medical term, but a computer file system introduced in 1993. It was developed to expand upon the limitations of the original EXT file system.
Etymology
The term EXT2 stands for "Extended File System 2". The "2" signifies that it is the second version of this system. The original EXT file system was the first file system to be used for the Linux kernel, and EXT2 was developed as an extension of this system.
