Is there a way to remove BTRFS from a running opensuse system and convert to another file system, such as ext4? I did not see anything on line.
I can do it, but it is not trivial (the reverse is guru level). You need a rescue stick (use the opensuse xfce rescue image, at the live iso link), then do a full backup of the root partition to something else (excepting the snapshots), using rsync, format the root partition as ext4, mount it back, restore files, (edit *that* fstab), reinstall grub using yast (perhaps edit grub config to reflect filesytem change), reboot. You might use the home partition as destination for the backup.
OPTIONS="--archive --acls --xattrs --hard-links --sparse --stats --human-readable --checksum"
rsync $OPTIONS --exclude=/lost+found \ $FROM/ $DEST
I would suggest that OPTIONS include
"--one-file-system " don't cross filesystem boundaries
Yes, absolutely, you are right. It avoids having to manually exclude /home, and perhaps /dev, /proc, and /sys. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas)) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
