Well, I know an ext3 partition can be mounted, unchanged, as ext2. Of
course, you had to cleanly unmount as ext3 first, and make sure you
cleanly mount/unmount as ext2 before you try to mount as ext3 again...
Question, then: Can the ext2 defrag work on a raw ext3 partition,
without having to convert it first?
