Re: Ext3 vs. ReiserFS



Hi,
I know only about problem-free conversion ext2-> ext3 (in fact it's only  
addition of the journal), but I'm affraid that extX <-> reiserFS (or JFS, or 
other) are to different, so it must be formatted, maybe on some site of 
reiserfs they would have some tips.
sorry
Matej
