Changing from NTFS to ext3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I want to convert all my NTFS partitions to ext3 since I’m no longer running Windows, at least on my main machine at home.  I’m planning to tar the NTFS partitions to an existing ext3, reformat the partition as ext3 and untar it back.

 

What is the best way to accomplish step two of this – reformatting the partition?  I’ve only done this so far during the installation phase, and that was for partitions I knew I could destroy with impunity.  I’m guessing I unmount the drive, <do something magic here> and remount it.  It’s the magic part I don’t know.

 

Thanks.
