Does anyone know of a document which describes a well-accepted technique for migrating a server's file systems from one format to another?
The classic one is to boot off cd and move stuff. If you are booted to a ramdisk and have one file system (e.g., the real hardddrive root file system) mounted as /old and the new filesystem mounted as /new then in the Bourne shell or bash you can do something like: $ cd /old; tar cf - . | (cd /new; tar xf -) -- Jack J.
