Hi T, from what I know, you can not. That is to say, that you can not do it without backing up or transferring you data. you could get a bunch of similar sized partitions and 'cp -a' over the files. /dev/hda1 is /home on ext2 /dev/hdb1 is new reiser of same size mkdir /mnt/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 mkfs.reiserfs /dev/hdb1 mkdir /mnt/hdb1 mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 cp -a /mnt/hda1/* /mnt/hdb1/. THIS IS A POSSIBLE UNTESTED OUTLINE. OTOH, you can upgrade from ext2 to ext3 with very little effort. -Kev
