Just editing fstab is not a complete solution. This is the root partition and
so it needs changes involving initrd.
(http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/ext2toext3.htm seems to be a good
reference on switching back and forth between ext2 and ext3.)

This is out of the scope of my experience and I'd have been most of the way
done with a new install by now, if I had just done it. I think that is what
I will now do.

I am learning lots, though!
