root partition, or another one? remember you need the kernel in ext2/3 or fat for the bootloader to be able to read it, or in NAND. Also remember btrfs on- disk format is still subject to change, so a kernel upgrade may mean you can't read it. > is possible without a format/reinstall? http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Converting_an_ext3_filesystem_to_ext4 _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
