No, not anymore than the next guy I guess but have grown tired of the hefty waits when doing fs intensive things like du. Space isn't really a big problem here. > You can create a tarball of your current system, put it in temporary place > (other partition, removable media, etc), change the partition type from > reiserfs to ext3 and then deploy your system in the brand new partition. Well, yeah. I now how to do something like that. What I'm asking is if there is some simpler way. Over time I've ended up with a somewhat complicated file system. Having run out of space or changed existing dir to partitions or whatever. So it would be a bit more complicated than what you described. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
