moving 15.0 install to a different partition/fs-type (?)
by mw.decavia from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6M79W)
Hello,
I am interested in moving a bootable slackware64 15.0 install to a different partition on the same harddrive. With the old partition being type Ext4 and the new partition being type Xfs.
Is there any way I can do this without doing a whole new install process to the new partition? Like maybe formatting the new partition with Xfs, then copying all the files from the old partition? Or something like that?
The old partition boots with lilo from the mbr.
