personally, whan i want to change the filesystem of my data (not very often though, 2 or 3 times in my life, and that was because i was bored), i just do a new particion with the filesystem i want, mount it, and cp -a everything I want (or tar it, or use whatever backup/script software you want). Thats the way of doing things, IMHO. Appart that you can convert all your data to another filesystem, it gives you flexibility, which I wouldn't get in the kernel.
And well...how many people are you expecting to change from one filesystem to another in the real world? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
