Dumb question time
Are there conversion tools to convert from ext2fs to xfs or reiserfs ?

I use reiser on everything except my boot partition {I wasn't sure if I
could - still aren't, really}, and it's great.
Mounts them so fast after a lockup {which I have occasionally - bodgey SMP
bios on the motherboard/processor combination} compared to ext2 it's not
funny.
As a comparison - a 2 gig ext2 partition on a UltraWide SCSI {80 meg}
device takes about 4-5 minutes.
A 5 gig partition on an IDE {Ultra33} device takes about 4-5 seconds.
I love it.
