Comments on How to Migrate Ext2/Ext3 File Systems to Ext4 on Linux
The Linux file systems Ext2 and Ext3 have now gone outdated. It is the time to convert the old file systems to the latest one, EXT4. The Ext4 filesystem is faster and more reliable than the previous versions. You dont have to reinstall the system; you can simply convert your existing file system to EXT4 by keeping the stored data unaffected.

There is a typo in Step 7. The command should be update-grub
Why I am able to mount ext2 file system in ext4 without converting it to ext4. Also will it supports file systeam features if it's getting mounted as ext4?
I was wondering if this also works on a mounted live filesystem. I guess I should try, probably won't let you...
I could do this on a live, running root filesystem (the filecheck either on reboot or after init 1), so that is good to know.
