I can't see anything wrong in his post to merit such a response, so
I'll apply it to you instead.

Yea. Read that too. I wouldn't call ext4 experimental. J.O. what were
you basing your comments on?

That's the way I do it. I am not confident enough in fs converters,
even if there is one, to trust it.

Just use an external HD, rsync -avh --progress /original /backup, then
reformat the original and reverse the process.

ext3 is the epitome of stability. There is nothing wrong with it.

ext4 is new, so there is always the possibility of future issues, but it's
far from experimental. For a home desktop machine, it is excellent. Very
fast, and so far I've had no issues with it.

Wow! How terribly devastating. Not to mention original.
