 Journaling Block Device layer
 -----------------------------
-The Journaling Block Device layer (JBD) isn't ext3 specific.  It was
-design to add journaling capabilities on a block device.  The ext3
-filesystem code will inform the JBD of modifications it is performing
-(Call a transaction).  the journal support the transactions start and
-stop, and in case of crash, the journal can replayed the transactions
-to put the partition on a consistent state fastly.

 Data Mode
 ---------
-There's 3 different data modes:
+There are 3 different data modes:
 
 * writeback mode
-In data=writeback mode, ext3 does not journal data at all.  This mode
-provides a similar level of journaling as XFS, JFS, and ReiserFS in its
-default mode - metadata journaling.  A crash+recovery can cause
-incorrect data to appear in files which were written shortly before the
-crash.  This mode will typically provide the best ext3 performance.

 * ordered mode
-In data=ordered mode, ext3 only officially journals metadata, but it
-logically groups metadata and data blocks into a single unit called a
-transaction.  When it's time to write the new metadata out to disk, the
-associated data blocks are written first.  In general, this mode
-perform slightly slower than writeback but significantly faster than
-journal mode.

 * journal mode
-data=journal mode provides full data and metadata journaling.  All new
-data is written to the journal first, and then to its final location. 
-In the event of a crash, the journal can be replayed, bringing both
-data and metadata into a consistent state.  This mode is the slowest
-except when data needs to be read from and written to disk at the same
-time where it outperform all others mode.

 Compatibility
 -------------
 
 Ext2 partitions can be easily convert to ext3, with `tune2fs -j <dev>`.
-Ext3 is fully compatible with Ext2.  Ext3 partitions can easily be
-mounted as Ext2.
