Aps2SD EXT3

[Guest Frankish]

If i convert my ext2 partition to EXT3 will i lose all data on the ext2 partition?

I know on windows converting fat>ntfs etc keeps files intact but at some point i managed to completely delete my SD card but i think that was the partitioning stage and not the converting to ext3.

if you use something like GParted on Linux then no you will not loose any data.

converting from the recovery console works without losing data too

Under linux:

'tune2fs -j' turns on the journalling. ie ext2->ext3. No data loss.

No added benefit at all for converting from ext2 to ext3, if anything, speeds will be reduced (aswell as available space) due to the journaling information used.

I saw everyone was saying ext3 is better so i did it. Through the phone and no data loss. Thanks guys.

I left ext2 on my SD.
