Simple enough to change the filesystem using tune2fs.
Getting it boot up as ext3 is another story. If ext3 is not compiled in your
kernel, you will need an initrd. I never got one working with 2.4.22. Works
fine with 2.6.2. Installing newer kernel images most always requires and
makes the

Also, quicker fsck comletion when booting after an unclean umount
