anyone know how to convert a filesystem from fat32 to ext2 without erasing?
is that possible even?
i know that in windows you can go from fat32 to ntfs without erasing
 
ajmitch
ajmitch
they store things in quite a different manner, so no, I don't believe it's possible

argggg

do you not have another drive where you can store the data?

why don't they warn us when setting up these usb pendrives to use a filesystem that can be larger than 4 gigs?

Q: How do I convert a FAT32 to ext3 (keeping the data on it)

Alexx HardtIs there a way to convert a FAT partition to ext3 (or other ext..) while keeping the data on it? I don't have access to a external USB hard disk to temporarily store the data, so I'd like to just convert it while the data sits on the partition. Is that possible?

ext3 fat32

ajmitch, lol , that's a nice trick but he's just copying stuff. I could just do it that way I guess.
ext2 is the best way to go then I guess isn't it
 
ajmitch

@JoshuaRobison obviously 'just copying stuff' is the only way to really go about it :)

@JoshuaRobison ext2 has limits, the max filesystem size is in the TB range though

ajmitch, which filesystem do you recommend ?
 
ajmitch
ajmitch
though running ext3 or 4 without a journal may be better, there are some other changes to the on-disk layout
I don't know what's best for a USB disk :)

@StefanoPalazzo I want to try proposing a merge
@StefanoPalazzo what do you think about the user visible things saying "Ask Ubuntu" instead of AskUbuntu.com?

@JorgeCastro I haven't forgotten about your LP lens, work has just been a little insane this last week :)
enough to make me want to turn to drink when a client calls with more bugs :)
 
Jorge Castro

@ajmitch oh it's ok busy with release and UDS stuff
@ajmitch it's not like it can go in the archive, so it's all just PPA land

you know that "hi you're a new user, are you sure you want to post this? this answer is crap" screen, is that for SO only or all SEs?
