Hi, you didn't give us a lot of information  Why not formating the partition using mke2fs? Or do you want to convert the filesystem without loosing any data? Why not backing up the data, formating the partition with an ext3/reiserfs filesystem and restoring the data?

It think you mean that you couldn't find the package in the portage, right? You can find an ebuild here. However, you'll have to add an overlay to us it. |

sory for short message
i try to add ebuild to /usr/local/portage
http://anyfs-tools.sourceforge.net/
last 3 versions dont work, emerge fals with die message in some lines when doing make
in ./configure everything is ok
i have 3 vfat partitions and my new kernel "2.6.26-r1" cannot mount them
kernel have some option for codepage, probably my partition is not write on that codepage
and now i must convert this partitions to ext filesystem
i can format partitions with mke2fs, but i that i lost my files
abouth 150-200Gb in all vfat partitions, i dont have this 200Gb free space

| But you could mount the partitions with an older kernel? What happens if you try to mount the partitions with "mount /dev/sdXX /mnt/XXX"? Did you compile the Kernel by yourself? Have you checked that your new kernel supports vfat? |

yes of course, i compile kernel by myself 
i using linux abouth 6-7 years, and my vfat partitions is very old
in kernel i have vfat support, i try to recompile kernel and eneter vfat to be module
and nothing
in 2.6.25 everything works

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so |
mount - t vfat or -t auto ... nothing...

This is strange... 
What does "dmesg | tail -n 20" says after you've tried to mount? Did you run "fsck"?
Does dmesg say something interesting if you load the module? |

| Check if "Codepage 437" is enabled in your kernel! Go to Filesystems -> Native Language Support. |
