Hi,
Other people on this BB may run into the same problem.
CentOS 7 end of life is announced to happen in July 2024.
I have to migrate my Linux box to another Linux "flavour".
I've had a look at the possibilities:
- migrate to another RHEL (rpm-based) Linux, with "elevate-linux" and
"leapp".
Here on this Linux box the problem I have is that the disk partition
mounted as / uses btrfs. btrfs has been deprecated starting at versions
8 (RHEL8, CentOS 8, Alma etc). This means first to copy all that is
present on / somewhere, change the file system (for example to ext4) and
restore everything.
- migrate to Debian, that supports btrfs. There are utilities,
"debtakeover" and "debootstrap" that are supposed to install Debian 8.11
(jessie).
Has anyone performed such a migration without data loss (files,
pathways, configurations)? If so I'd like to know what was successful.
Thank you.
Fred.
