It'd probably be on my ClarkConnect gateway system (home edition,
v2.1). I believe it's based on Redhat 9, but I don't know what the
kernel is, beyond being somewhere in 2.4. You see, I'm at work right
now, and the system is at home, on a private IP from my ISP, etc, so I
can't get to it from here.
Thanks,
Lloyd

Let's not get into that if we don't have to. What distro / kernel
version are you using?

Okay. I think I can handle that, since I planned to use ext3 anyway.
If the kernel doesn't support it, do I just need to recompile? Sorry,
I'm not that familiar with the kernel internals.
Thanks again,

ext2 can be migrated to ext3 and back without any loss. It's done by
running tune2fs -j /dev/whatever. This is one of the nicer features
of ext3. You'll also need to change it's type in /etc/fstab from ext2
to ext3. As for kernel support, try it and see. If your kernel
doesn't support it tune2fs probably won't either and it won't hurt
anything to try because ext3 is backward compatible. You can mount an
ext3 fs as ext2 without any trouble.
As for moving to Reiser or whatever you pretty much have to copy your
stuff somewhere and copy it back, there's no real way around it.

Hi, everybody...
What does it take to migrate file systems from one type (eg. ext2) to
something a bit newer (eg. ext3, Reiser, etc)? Can they be somehow
converted without data loss? For that matter, how do I go about making
sure that the system supports the file system I'm looking for? Is this
a kernel feature?
Thanks,
Lloyd Brown
