Yes, my /home/me/Documents partition (actually drive) is ext4 and when I will finally switch to btrfs (in about Fedora 17 or 18), I will have to transfer all of my stuff onto another partition, create the new btrfs file system on the old /home/me/Documents partition, and then move everything back (yes, I also have an external backup drive, in case something should go wrong). Since it is only my data (music files, pdf articles, pictures, saved youtube movie clips, etc.) on /home/me/Documents, it is not critical to the system, so it doesn't matter if it is not using the better file system right away (but my / system and /home/me/.* will be). I did this once already, about a year or more ago, when I migrated from ext3 to ext4. It was not that bad and you only do it once. You don't need to migrate your system, however. You can leave it, since Fedora comes out every 6 months, so just select the preferred file system when you upgrade to the new release. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
