    I have a system that can get files from an EXT2 file system, but it
    can only read. The disk can be moved to a full Linux host that writes
    the files the other system reads.

    Recently, the disk data seems to be corrupted, because the Linux
    system sometimes loses power.

    I would like to use a more robust file system, like EXT3 or one of the
    journaling file systems. Is a read-only EXT2 system compatible with
    any other disk format?
