I don't think it's possible to do that. It would be very nice to do that, though.

As the namesys guys have repeatedly stated, reiser4 is a completely new filesystem, with none of the code from reiserfs. There is no way to convert directly. You must tar up your current filesystem, format it as reiser4, and untar everything back.
There are no plans by the reiser4 team to write a conversion tool. |

| Can you please specify the best command to tar it up... Because i dont know if i have to leave certain folders out like proc etc.... I only have one partition not one for boot etc... and then a swap... I knew there was no direct conversion but i wanted to know the best way to go around doing this... |

This is how my backup.script looks like:
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
DIRS='/var/log /etc /home/mayday/.* ' <-- insert here the dirs you want to backup
/bin/tar cjvvf /mnt/documents/backup/backup.tar.bz2 $DIRS
