 How to migration Root FS from reiserfs to ext4I installed Mepis on the Reiserfs, but now wish to change Root file system to Ext4. I've tried a few times, but think the Initrd on the boot time encountered with error, when boot the system with new Ext4 partition. Do i need to apply on the Initrd file? I do the copy progress with "rsync -azvr" command.

Re: How to migration Root FS from reiserfs to ext4 I have done something like that but instead of using rsync, I used cp -ax media/source* media/destination
then I fixed permissions by logging in as root instead of the user and issues chown -R NAME /home/NAME && chgrp -R users /home/NAME Logged out of root and after that, the system operated as normal when logged in as a regular user.

Re: How to migration Root FS from reiserfs to ext4 I think there is a problem in Initrd file.

Re: How to migration Root FS from reiserfs to ext4 You probably just need to reinstall Grub... use the LiveCD and do a Grub repair.

Re: How to migration Root FS from reiserfs to ext4
Do it, just "grub-install", but didn't solve. Both before and after above action encountered whit following error:
I tried with "single user mode", after geven root password tried create a directory in the root home directory but said:
Whatever the problem related to the file system. In your opinion rsync don't suitable for this job. |

Re: How to migration Root FS from reiserfs to ext4 Hmm, you cannot write on the partition, it's not rsync's fault. Did you mount the partition read only somehow?

Re: How to migration Root FS from reiserfs to ext4 Not sure what you're asking about, but ro is read-only. rw is read-write.
