Only on machines with small drives, though!

Certainly, converting my ext2 systems to ext3 in this way was painless
and quick; but with the OS spread across two tiny drives, losing 33Mb on
each to a copy of a system status journal *is* a bit of a blow.

[Dammit, I *need* that 66Mb!  I got wikis to maintain.]

But not losing data on a power-cut is a boon, I have to admit.
