The reason that there are no "gotchas" with ext3 is if anything goes 
wrong it just defaults back to ext2 since the "ext3 journal" is 
merely an add-on to ext2.

While your procedure looks good for revising a system without taking 
it down, the times when I have convered to ext3 I've done it like 
this:

tune2fs -j /dev/hda1 (repeat for all volumes)

change ext2 to ext3 in fstab

reboot.

The compiled-in ext3 support is automatic at that point, and away it 
goes. No problems, no games. And it works just fine on RAID too.
