  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.  :-)
