migrating to ext3, was Re: rebuilding kernel

[Gregory Nowak]

If I have slackware 8.0, and I want
to someday jump on the ext3 band wagon,
then is there a tool of some sort that I can use to convert
my ext2 partitions to ext3?
I know I can always create ext3 on a partition, copy over data from the ext2 partition,
but that's a lot of work.
