In fact you can go from ext2 to ext3 and back again (if you're brave)
bah, they do know nothing ... (well, ok they know something but these are mistakes )

* ext3 only works that way if compiled into the kernel
* mount will show the entry from /etc/fstab not the real mount (and use /etc/mtab)
[ So it can show ext3 even if it is still ext2 ]

Do "cat /proc/mounts" if you need infos if its ext2 or ext3.
