Including resizing? Doesn't ext3 have some metadata that ext2
doesn't know about? Won't that not get moved properly, leaving you
with a new, smaller (or larger, I guess) ext2 partition with the
same files, but lacking metadata, where you used to have a
differently-sized ext3 partition?
(Or, maybe I'm wrong and ext3 is just speed/soft update hacks, in
which case, no problem.)
