converting from ext2 to ext3 needs not an unmount. You only need to issue
the tune2fs -j /device/devicename for it will only add a journal inode to
the existing ext2 filesystem.
But as a previous post stated, you can't use the new filesystem as ext3
already until you unmount then remount the filesystem as ext3.
