Hi,

       We plan to support in our distro ReiserFS 3.x and 4.0 at the same 
time.

       About to port OLD data to ReiserFS 4, a simple 'tar cvfz' will be 
usefull to backup and replace.

       I don't think, this tool

http://tzukanov.narod.ru/convertfs/

    support reiserFS 4.0, because it is dated March 2002.

    If someone knows some other link, for this tool I can take a look.

    Seems that Debian is working on. In any case we will do our tests and make
    our decisions.

    My idea when i comment to Hans, was based on the fact that RedHat haves these tools
    for EXT2 to EXT3 and viceversa.

Thanks,
Giovanni
