I think I've read that you can mount an EXT4 as EXT3, but you lose
the journaling when you do that. And I don't know what possibly bad
things may happen to the filesystem, if the system modified it while
thinking it was EXT3, that may rear up and bite you later if you
mount it subsequently as EXT4.
