To be more precise:

The wiki shows the following command:

# tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/the_partition
This converts ext3 to ext4 or ext2 to journal-less ext4.

# tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index,has_journal /dev/the_partition
This converts both ext2 and ext3 to ext4

# tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index,^has_journal /dev/the_partition
This converts both ext2 and ext3 to journal-less ext4

I haven't tried most of this, but it should work.

(Beware: This command alone doesn't work, only use it as described in
the wiki.)
