migration reiserfs to ffs (openbsd 3.6)



Hi,

I've been running linux for several years, but was not satisfied with several things the way it ran on my server. Last weekend, I was setting up OpenBSD 3.6 on my server, when I ran into a small problem: My data is confined on ReiserFS.
I've been reading trough several archives, and I'm not going to annoy you with the question whether or not I can use ReiseFS with OpenBSD, why (not) and so on...

My question: what filesystems does OpenBSD support, so I can migrate my files?

It's going to be a lengthy process, since we're talking almost 300 GB...

I've rearranged my data, to sit on 2 drives 160 (153)GB each and have a third one which I can format and put the data on. Like I said, lengthy process with a lot of shuffling...

I've tried ext2fs, but keep running into errors... it seems ext2fs can't handle partitions this size.

If anyone can help me out here, I'd be most gratefull.

Kind regards,

Mattijs Snepvangers, Netherlands
