If you have enough disk space to accomodate your data *without* compression you could do the following: - boot a 'rescue system' (I recommend knoppix) from CD or usb - mount both your partition and the one with the free space - rsync -avx your data to the free space - reformat your partition to ext3 (all data will be lost, so make sure you have good backups!) - rsync all your data back to the new ext3-partition - adjust your /etc/fstab (replace reiserfs by ext3) - cross your fingers and reboot
OK, but if copy the file to fat32 partion, any problem ? tar would work on similar lines. tar can use compression, rsync is
probably faster (plus you have all your files as a backup; if one of those files would get corrupted not everything is lost). Take care that you properly understand each step, verify the options. Be aware that a typo may lead to data loss... Take care, good luck! Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
