Even if you really feel you have to change the fs, you don't have to do "everything ex novo"! It needs just space on any harddisk to prepare a new set of partitions. After building the file systems, there is a simple way to copy your running linux to the new set of partitions with only very small modifications (see "Duping a Drive Under Linux", http://linuxgazette.net/issue64/tag/12.html). And if necessary, you could even repeat this process, ending up with your linux system on exactly the same partitions as in the beginning, but using a new fs!
