Need to convert EXT4 partition to a supported filesystem
Posted: Fri Apr 23, 2021 1:58 am
I have 2 disks on my desktop. One SSD & one spinning HDD. I have installed GhostBSD & Debian (dual boot) on the SSD. I am using the spinning HDD to store data only. At the moment the spinning HDD has 1 EXT4 partition. I want to change it to a partition that is fully supported by GhostBSD.
Which filesystem is ideal for this situation ? UFS ?
Under Linux I use Gparted which is graphical. Is there a similar tool available under GhostBSD ? If not then please tell me the command which will format the partion from EXT4 to UFS.
ada0 is the drive that I want to format.
All data is already backed up.
