Hi all,
The tune2fs program can add a journal to an existing ext2 file system without altering the data already on the partition. If the file system is already mounted while it is being transitioned, the journal will be visible as the file .journal in the root directory of the file system. If the file system is not mounted, the journal will be hidden and will not appear in the file system at all.
To convert an ext2 file system to ext3, log in as root and type:
tune2fs -j /dev/xxx
This will create ext3 file system in the partition specified. Once this is over “without any errors” you should change the “file system type” in /etc/fstab and make it ext3. Then do a
mount -a
To check whether its mounted properly and the file system type, do
mount
