A suggested recipe:
1. Make sure you have tune2fs installed. It is probably /sbin/tune2fs, and so won't be in your path as a user, but will be as root.
2. Unmount any unused partitions (nfs or samba mount points, windows partitions if you dual-boot).
3. Run this command as root: tune2fs -j /dev/hdxx where hdxx is the device name for your hard drive partitions (hda1, hda5, etc.). You need to run this for each partition you want to convert -- you do not need to do this on your swap partition, only on your ext2 partitions.
4. Edit /etc/fstab, and change all instances of ext2 to ext3.
The ext.o and jbd.o that you need are selected as modules in the 2.4.16 SuSE kernel. Check that the ext and jbd modules are loaded in /etc/rc.config:
ex.:
INITRD_MODULES="dc395x ide-scsi ext jbd"
Download this before you run mk_initrd:
http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/ext3_rootfs_73.html
Then run:
mk_initrd lilo
and reboot.

There is some disadvantages switching from ext2 to ext3? For example, will any ext2 resizing tool resize ext3? What about performance? (I havent been looking around yet). Praise
