There's a toolkit called "convertfs" that is able to do this using some 
trickery with a filesystem image and remapping of blocks:

http://tzukanov.narod.ru/convertfs/

I've used this myself several times on test systems successfully. 
HOWEVER, if you care *at all* about your data, trying to use this thing 
without a backup is suicidal.  A far better option would be to get 
another drive (even a USB or firewire external), tar up your data, then 
just make the new filesystem clean, and untar.
