You're right, it is verry slow on large files... But how can I convert without losing my data???

But ext2 isn't journaled, and ext3 is *horrible* at large file deletions. I believe another poster to this list just discovered the reason for some of his problems was due to lengthy I/O caused by Myth deleting very large (16GB?) files while trying to record another show on his ext3 filesystem. XFS, JFS, and ReiserFS handle deleting of large files much much better. With XFS it is nearly instant, no matter the size. JFS is almost as fast. ReiserFS I haven't tried yet.
