        Thanks


You can't convert the partition in-place, you'll have to

copy the data

somewhere else, format it as ext3, and then copy it back.



That is actually the case for every filesystem conversion (that I can think of).



ext2 -> ext3, nope.
fat32 -> ntfs, nope.




Point taken. I was thinking of switching between reiserfs, xfs, jfs, and so on.
