Ext2 -> Ext3 Without data loss

[VandhiyaThevan 0]

Is there any utility to convert the ext2 partition to ext3 partition without data loss?

 

Thanks in advance!

well, I know if you upgrade your distro, you have the option to migrate ext2 -> ext3 but off the top of my head I can't remember what the utility is.

Thanks punkisdead!

 

I already know that we can convert ext2->ext3 while upgrading. But I have not tried.

 

Anyway thanks for your reply!

As root

 

/sbin/tune2fs -j /dev/hdbX (yall know what that x is for)

 

Then check /etc/fstab to mark the desired partition as ext3 type.
