What are the practical difficulties in developing such a tool? You would spend longer writing and testing the tool than doing the backup, reformat and restore. I mean, would you seriously considering running an unproven format conversion tool on several TB of data without a tape backup in any case? Given that you _need_ backups, that sounds like the only sane way to go. --Stephen _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
