JS Writes: "
No need to repartition. However, reformat the partitions."

This is bad advice.
There was a change in the Ext3 code between FC2 and FC3. 
I know from personal experience because I was caught by it. By not
allowing for repartitioning and formatting, I suddenly had disks that
errored out and would not mount. 

So, although I contradict Janina, I strongly suggest in the least,
reformat your disks, and better yet, go through the partitioning process
to ensure that any changes are allowed to happen.
