[Question] Is there a way for CZ to ignore the filesystem in the image?
Is there a way for CZ to ignore the filesystem in the image and pour the files in an XFS partition? The point is that I want the next time I make a backup image of the OS, the new filesystem in the image to be XFS, not ext4. I tried formatting the partition to XFS and then restoring the backup but when it boots, "sudo blkid" indicates that the FS of the target partition has been changed back to ext4. That's the thing I wanna avoid, I wanna keep the XFS FS. And I can't even make a fresh install of Arch RN, bc of the glitchy nvidia drivers lately, so the only option I have RN is to find a way to pour files from EXT4 image into an XFS FS and preserve the XFS FS at the same time.
Never even heard of it and reading its description sounds risky. I'd rather do it with CZ.
No, the file system engine of Clonezilla, Partclone, is actually block-based. In other words, actually it does not know files on a file system. It just realizes the used blocks on the file system. I suggest you can use Clonezilla to backup the file system, and use fstransform to do this conversion.
