How do I convert a ext2 filesystem to ext3 filesystem on linux?



  • To convert a ext2 (non journalling filesystem) to a ext3 filesystems (which uses journalling) run the following command:

    # tune2fs -j /dev/mapper/vg01-test
    tune2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
    Creating journal inode: done
    This filesystem will be automatically checked every 24 mounts or
    180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
