Switching fs-type from reiserfs to ext2/3

[Hermann-Josef Beckers]

Hi Collins,

thank you for your answer. Using -t does the trick, but can I trust my data
on that partition. Or does anybody know how much i should wipe out?
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/partition  bs=512 count=200" wasn't enough. The 
partition has 1 Gig. Mount keeps complaining, when I use the information from 
/etc/fstab, which simply contains "/dev/hdc6 /backup ext2 1 2".

Yours
