Well you could convert it to an ext2

# umount /dev/hda10
# tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/hda10
# e2fsck /dev/hda10
# Edit /etc/fstab to change /dev/hda10 to mount type ext2
# mount /dev/hda10


And back to an ext3

# umount /dev/hda10
# tune2fs -j /dev/hda10
# Edit /etc/fstab, and for /dev/hda10, change ext2 to ext3
# mount /dev/hda10
