anyone used convertfs (Bandel maybe)?

[Net Llama!]

Has anyone used convertfs successfully to convert from ext3 to xfs?
http://tzukanov.narod.ru/convertfs/

I setup a test box with RHEL-3.0 that installed using ext3.  I then 
built a 2.4.25 kernel with both ext3 & xfs support.  I was able to 
successfully convert /boot to xfs, but attempting to convert / wiped out 
  a large chunk of the filesystem which caused the rest of the 
conversion to fail, and the box is basically unbootable now.

There doesn't appear to be any documentation for convertfs, so i'm 
guessing that i can't run it on a live system, but would instead have to 
use something like knoppix.  ANyone have any clues for me?
