I used these steps:

To enable the ext4 features on an existing ext3 filesystem, use the command:

"# tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/DEV

WARNING: Once you run this command, the filesystem will no longer be mountable using the ext3 filesystem!

After running this command, you MUST run fsck to fix up some on-disk structures that tune2fs has modified:

# e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/DEV"

The partition is 30 GB right now, but I may consider extending it in the near future by around 100 GB.
