This is a neat Rescue type disk. It contains some utilities that I
haven't seen before.

"It's rescue system is similar to the one in rip-10.exe and
ramf-118.exe, except it has more programs (i.e. partimage,
reiserfsck, cfdisk, sfdisk, debugfs, mkfs.xfs, mkfs.jfs,
fsck.jfs, xfs_repair, cdrecord/dvdrecord, mkisofs, convertfs,
losetup + AES-encryption, chntpw)."

====================== convertfs ============================
The 'converfs' script and programs allow you to convert
between a (minix, reiserfs, ext2/3, xfs, or jfs) filesystem
that's on a partition.

The contents of the converted filesystem are not destroyed,
only the filesystem is changed.

Convert filesystem on device from this type to this type.

Usage: convertfs device from_fs_type to_fs_type

Filesystem types: minix xfs jfs reiserfs ext2 ext3

Example: convertfs /dev/hda2 ext2 reiserfs
