Re: converting ext3 to ext2

yes - just mount it as ext2.

	http://people.spoiled.org/jha/ext3-faq.html
has some more info on it (as what to do before removing the hidden 
.journal file if it exists)

The other way round (ext2 => ext3) can be done using
	tune2fs
even on a running system (which is a nice feature compared to other 
journaling FS such as e.g. reiserfs).
