What is the advantage of moving to ext3 (as opposed, say, to reiserfs)??
(1) Ease of upgrade. You can convert any ext2 partition to ext3 without backing up, making the file system and restoring the data. (2) Maturity of rescue tools. Ext3 uses the same tools as ext2 which have been in development for years. (3) If you don't mind the speed hit, ext3 (AFAIK) is the only journaling file system that can journal data as well as metadata.
