Hello all,

I made up my mind, and decided to change a real partition to XFS. I made a
backup, then formatted my 16Gb slice to XFS, which was ReiserFS previously.
I mounted it without problems, but(!) I still could mount it as ReiserFS!
Then I got back all of my files, like nothing happened with the partition.
Mounted as XFS showed the partition empty. Weird, isn't it? I had to format
the partition as ext2 (bad feeling seeing lost+found :-) ), then reformat as
XFS. This was the way to properly eliminate ReiserFS.
If some of you have a little time, please look into it.

Anyway, we had two power fault since then, and the XFS works perfectly!
Very good work!
Sincerely,
GCS
