does this differ from
mke2fs -j

Yes, its different.

-j is for enabling journaling option in the
filesystem, useful for better recovery.

Huh???

More precisely:

       -j     Create the filesystem with an ext3 journal.

which is exactly what mkfs -t ext3 would do. That is, ext3 = ext3. So
can you please explain how the two commands differ?
