|
|
My "/" and "/home" are XFS. "/boot" is ext2.
I want to convert "/" and "/home" to Reiserfs. What's the best way to do it without losing data?
Anyone try this?

Edit: the program seemed to work fine on a conversion of /home from ext3 to reiserfs |

The best way to do this is, of course, get a large temporary holding place, copy everything there, and copy everything back. It's slow, but as safe as you're going to get. _________________ I don't believe in witty sigs. |
