Google is your friend. :-) http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/ext2toext3.htm Steve Litt has lots of good articles in his online mag; it's worth poking around the site. > Are there any drawbacks to doing so? The referenced article mentions a couple -- first, if you're converting the boot partition, you have to go through the entire sequence or it's hosed; second, going back to ext2 sounds like something I really wouldn't want to deal with. I wonder if it might be safer to reformat & reinstall (in either case).
