From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i guess i'm asking how do i migrate them to newer filesystems once kernel support is removed. surely i'll still be able to modprobe it back in...
Use a kernel version that still has support to perform the copy before upgrading? If already upgraded, boot to the old kernel? Boot from a live iso that has support?
I mean, this isn't exactly a hard problem to solve...
I guess I gotta put an old Slackware cd in with that drawer full of reiser drives.
The 6.10 kernel has not even been released yet. Support has not been removed yet. It does not have to be an “old” Slackware CD.
By the time I get around to shuffling through a bunch of old drive it very well could be!
