You can explicitly mount it as -t ext4dev, and the next file created will make a non-backwards-compatible change when it writes in extent format. From then on, it's an "ext4dev" filesystem with mostly non-extent ext3 files on it. :) There is a full migration tool in the works, but it's not ready for primetime yet. Also, some ext4 features won't be available on a filesystem with the (was-default) 128-byte inode size.
