botched ext3 conversion



Whoops,

missed a step converting a box to ext3

procedure i was using was:

1) #tune2fs -j /dev/hda*

for all ext2 file systems.

2) edit /etc/fstab to change all references from ext2 to auto

3) #touch/forcefsck

4) reboot

only i forgot step 2 

it rebooted fine and #cat /proc/mounts shows the / file ssystem as ext 2
and the others as ext2

i was thinking of just re-runnign the procedure and rebooting.

is there any danger in this?

TIA

John

    once we fought against the empire of heaven.
    We were -- that I will not deny -- vanquished in that conflict:
    yet the great intention was not lacking in nobility.
    Something or other gave Him victory: to us remained
    the glory of a dauntless daring.
    And even if my troop fell thence vanquished,
    yet to have attempted a lofty enterprise is still a trophy.
