# To format ext3 partitions
# --------------------------
mke2fs -j /dev/xxx	( use the normal mke2fs )
#
#
# To Upgrade ext2 to ext3
# -----------------------
tune2fs -j /dev/xxx
#
#
# Before you can mount a partition as ext3 you have to create a journal on it.
tune2f2 -j /dev/hdaX
#
#
# Tuning ext3
# ------------
#	http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/ext3/tuning.html
#
#	ext2 file system, writes are scheduled every 30 seconds
#	ext3 file system, writes are scheduled every 5 seconds
#
#	we recommend that you set read latency (-r) to half of write latency (-w)
#	/sbin/elvtune -r 1024 -w 2048 /dev/hda
#
#
# now mount it
mount -t ext3 /dev/hdaX /mnt/somewhere
