Hi all,You'll have to convert it to XFS first, at which time you'll decide to keep it that way. ;)
I got me a shiny new PC last week. I am in process of backing up the data off my old pc to get it ready for the new.
I was going to install Linux w/ ext3 filesystem on the new pc, the old one has ext2. Can I restore to the new if it is ext3? Or to I have to install it as ext2, restore my backups, then convert to ext3?
TIA,
Seriously, you should have no problems copying your files from ext2 to ext3 as 3 is simply 2 with a journal. What distro are you planning on using?
