I'm a bit worried about data corruption with reiserfs, and more
concerned with stability and reliability than performance. So I think
I'd like to convert my reiserfs partitions to ext3.
What would be the best way to accomplish this (without doing a
re-install)? I was thinking of the following procedure:
- boot from the LiveCD
- use tar to backup a partition to some temporary location (making
sure tar preserves links, permissions, ownership, etc)
- re-format the partition as ext3
- use tar to move the data from the temp location to the newly
formatted ext3 partition
I would repeat this procedure for every one of my reiserfs partitions.
Finally, I would update /etc/fstab to reflect the changes.
Assuming I didn't make any mistakes in the above procedure, would this
preserve my system integrity?
Thanks again!
Matt
