convertfs

This tool converts filesystems (e.g. ext3 to reiserfs) in place without needing space for two copies. It does this by playing clever tricks with sparse files. "You can convert from virtually any filesystem type to virtually any one as long as they are both supported by Linux for read/write, and as long as primary filesystem supports sparse files." (Submitted by Ville Herva.)
