I believe so, however, while you're running as ext2, you have no
journal support, so if you crash and mount as ext3, the journal won't
accurately reflect the most recent state of things. It's probably
not a wise thing to flip back and forth too often, but I don't think
it will hurt in general as long as thing "go right" :)

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!
