Converting ext2 to ext3

Log in as root
Make sure /etc/fstab has /dev/hda10 mounted to /test as ext2, read write
umount /dev/hda10
If you can't unmount it, then remount it read only (mount -o remount,ro /dev/hda10)
tune2fs -j /dev/hda10
Edit /etc/fstab, and for /dev/hda10, change ext2 to ext3
mount /dev/hda10
/sbin/shutdown -h now
mount | grep /dev/hda10
If it's not shown as ext3, reboot, if still not, troubleshoot
Otherwise, you're done.
