-   When I installed I took the default ext2 filesystem. From what I understand ext2 can be
non-destructively converted to ext3. I want to. How?

-   Hello,
The safest way is to copy your partition files to another disk or
new partition. Reformat the old partition in ext3 and switch the
saved data upon the ext3 partition.

Best regards,
