EXT3 is simply EXT2 with journaling added. There really isn't a "conversion" process; it is more a matter of turning the journaling on or off. The EXT3 journal is simply stored in a reserved inode, almost like a regular file. But, of course, as always, have multiple, full, offline backups of any system you are going to attempt this on. :-) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
