[expert] how to convert from ext2fs to reiserfs ?

[Daniel Woods]

I want to upgrade a current LM7.1 server with 8.0-Freq version.
I will do a fresh install but not re-formatting /home, /usr/local,
/var to keep the data as is. The other partitions can be formatted.
They are currently ext2fs and I wanted to know if the install
would convert them to reiserfs if I ask it to, or do I simply install
as ext2fs and then convert all partitions later ?  How do I convert
the partitions (what commands, docs) ?

Thanks... Dan.
