I have not been able to test this because each time I try, I get "Multiple devices on your system are labelled /." [Exit Installer] even though really, truly, and honestly only one device is labeled "/" If this looks reasonably safe, maybe it can get tossed into the mix and I'll try the upgrade another day.... All it does is mark it with the "test_fs" flag (which won't be needed when ext4 goes "live") and then as long as the ext3 fs is mounted as ext4 during install, every file which is created/updated/installed will be in the new extents format.
