what's the easiest way to convert the / mount point to xfs? can I just do it with an empty partition + knoppix cd?
boot knnoppix, mount / (hda9) to /mnt/tmp backup to empty partition umount / format hda9 into xfs restore data from empty partition usin cp -a edit /etc/fstab reboot [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Feigning erudition, Tom Wilson wrote: > % Hi all, > % > % I got me a shiny new PC last week.
