There are still stability problems with ext4 - beware. <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/linux/+bug/453579" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/linux/+bug/453579</a> Grub Legacy and ext4 are not compatible. You should first update grub to grub2 - read the manual thoroughly *before* any move. Only then upgrade to ext4. Depending on how this server is vital I would stay with grub and ext3 for a while. </blockquote><div> It is not vital yet. So it will probably be perfect candidate to make an attempt upgrade to grub2 and then ext4 But I was looking for steps if available to try out </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Good luck.
