Re: [gentoo-user] Re: reiserfs-ext3
I do something like this:
for x in /*; do
if [ ${x} != /usr ]; then
tar zcf ${x}.tar ${x}
fi
done
for x in /usr/*; do
tar zcf /usr_`basename ${x}`.tar ${x}
done
Then you save those files to another medium [i.e. cd, or another host
or hard drive or something]
format your root fs with the new fs, and copy those files back and untar.
Livecd:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/node
mount /dev/node /mnt/gentoo
cd /mnt/gentoo
[copy files here...]
for x in *.tar.gz; do
tar zxf ${x}
done
That's pretty much it.

sys-fs/convertfs
one look into package.mask could have told you that.

tar -cf /dev/st0 / --exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys --exclude=/dev
and after mkfs
tar -xf /dev/st0
that is, what big tapedrives are made for ;)
