Description immolo 2024-01-27 14:20:23 UTC
tool for in-place filesystem conversion (for example from jfs/xfs/reiser to ext2/ext3/ext4) without backup.

As scary as it seems this tool actually works quite well and could be rather useful to users that need to convert from one filesystem to another then the normal tarball method won't work.

I've currently submitted this to GURU however I do feel this should be in the main repo.

I will maintain this package myself if accepted.
