Changing File Systems.


Hi guys, I've a system running on ext2. Im thinking of changing it to other FS just to play around (Although I do not know what's there to play with.)

The only way to do that, I assumed should be: Format the partition, re-install Slackware again?

If you've got everything backed up, have a look at the man page for tune2fs. You shouldn't have to reformat, just add the journal with the '-j' option.

You can change to ext3 with the above mentioned command (be sure to umount first!).
I don't think you can change to other FSes without having to reformat.
