Yep. The only "problem" I ran into is the details of remounting. The
'-o remount' option can't change the fs type. You actually have to
unmount then mount the partition. When / and /home are converted,
this means a reboot :-(. Otherwise it's great. (don't forget to edit
fstab to specify ext3 instead of ext2)
