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.
