Converting ext2 to ext3.
For example, if you are upgrading /dev/sda2 that is mounted as /home, from ext2 to ext3, do the following.
umount /dev/sda2
tune2fs -j /dev/sda2
mount /dev/sda2 /home
Note: You really don’t need to umount and mount it, as ext2 to ext3 conversion can happen on a live file system. But, I feel better doing the conversion offline.
