Q: How do I convert my ext3 partition back to ext2?
Actually there is only little need to do so, because in most cases it is
sufficient to mount the partition explicitely as ext2. But if you really
need to convert your partion back to ext2 just do the following on an
umounted partition:
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/hdaX
To be on the safe side you should force a fsck run on this partition
afterwards:
fsck.ext2 -f /dev/hdaX
After this procedure you can safely delete the .journal file if there was
any.

I cannot see any way to reverse the trend from ext3 to 2. The other way is
simple (tune2fs -j). Nothing I can see undoes this, not that I wanto
normally
