I just converted /mnt/free to ext2 from vfat.
Here is my steps:
0. backup /mnt/free
1. edit /etc/fstab and add a "#" in front of the line containing "/mnt/free"
2. reboot
3. execute "mke2fs -I 128 -m 0 /dev/tffsa6"
4. remove that "#" added in step 1.
5. reboot and /mnt/free will be ext2 format

One question:
What is /mnt/protected used for? It occupies 32MB and seems not used. If possible, I want to merge it with /mnt/free.

Added:
Martjin's suggestion is convenient. Do remember to retain "iocharset=utf8" or characters beyond ascii won't display correctly.
