Copying my VPS to a new disk
I've been a customer of TornadoVPS since 2011. The VPS came with an ext3 formatted filesystem which was at the time the default filesystem in the Debian installer. In the meantime the kernel's ext3 driver depreciated and eventually removed prompting me to do the in-place upgrade to ext4. However, at some point I wanted to get a new, clean filesystem with bigger inodes, fast_commit support and year 2038 fixes.
