roger that. I wanted to take the chance to make use of the knoopix 3.1 beta...

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
Your kernel needs XFS support or this procedure will go south as soon as
you reboot.  Once you have a kernel with XFS support, you'll be fine.
Read my SxS on XFS for the details.
