Question Quota on ReiserFS or "Reiser2Ext3" ?


Well, I have some sort of a Problem.

I allready found out that obviously its very hard to get quota running on ReiserFS - especially with a 2.6 kernel.

So here are my questions:

1.) Is there an easy way to get quota support on my 6 stable running ReiserFS partitions?

if No (I assume so):
2.) Is there an easy and secure way to convert my 6(!) partitions from Reiser to Ext3 (which was suggested for a journaling quota supporting filesystem in some threads) ?

if No (I hope it IS possible... )
3.) Has anybody experience in manually 'converting' filesystems and can give me some advice here?

Thanks alot,

Sebastian

You'll have to move the data on another partition to change the file system since everything gets overwritten when you create a new one.No idea about quota's.
