I am currently running a Windows XP system at home with
around 100+ Mb in use over ~400Mb of NTFS file systems. I am installing
CentOS 4.4 on it when I change out the mobo/cpu/mem/video combo I just
bought. I want to convert all the file systems to (probably) Reiserfs or
maybe ext3, but I need to do them one at a time because I only have enough
transfer space to accommodate the largest one, or at least that’s my
belief. That would mean at least two copies per partition converted, and
I have six partitions to convert, from ~14Gb to over 85Gb (in one, only –
the rest are 30Gb or smaller). 1) Is there a
good way to do whole fs conversions, specifically from NTFS to reiserfs or
ext3? 2) Do I even
need to do this (i.e., do any of the CentOS/Linux kernels support read AND
write to NTFS)? 3) Is there, by
any chance, and in-place converter from NTFS to any Linux fs, preferably reiserfs
or ext3? Also, the last time I installed CentOS on a system (I’ve
done about six or seven so far) I don’t remember seeing reiserfs as one
of the supported fs’s for configuring during the installation process –
am I blind or is this really the case? I like reiserfs primarily because
it is really good with many small files, and I have tons of them – around
100k files under 10k. Thanks. mhr |
