Q: How do I convert my ext3 partition back to ext2?
Actually there is only little need to do so, because in most cases it is sufficient to mount the partition explicitely as ext2. But if you really need to convert your partion back to ext2 just do the following on an unmounted partition:
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/hdaX
To be on the safe side you should force a fsck run on this partition afterwards:
fsck.ext2 -f /dev/hdaX
After this procedure you can safely delete the .journal file if there was any.
