Converting ext3 to ext4 resulting in loss of data?

[James Hogarth]

Choosing in the installer to format a partition as any format will indeed
format said partition.

It is possible to relable an ext3 filesystem as ext4 but conversion is not
part of the installer... it is something you would have to do manually
yourself.

Hi guys,
I do a fresh install of Lucid on my Karmic. Preserving /home
partition, but converting it from ext3 to ext4.
After the installation all of the data in /home is gone.
I thought converting ext3 to ext4 won't result in such case?
Thank you.
