1. Backup data, where to is your problem. It can be a spare disk, a tape drive, or a separate partition. 2. Wipe out ext2/ext3/XFS/JFS/whatever filesystem, replacing it with ReiserFS using the ReiserFS mkfs command (forgot which this is). 3. Restore data. 4. Modify /etc/fstab and company. 5. Reboot. This is a bare-bones outline, Rick Moen's reply is probably more comprehensive. This holds for all migration between filesystems except between ext2 and ext3. It may be worth noting some "basics" like making sure you reboot to a kernel supporting all the filesystems your new system will use, and that it's probably easiest to use a rescue disk system, like Knoppix. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : http://jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc. : software we refer to GnuPG Key ID : 0x93B746BE : freedom, not price. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
