    Migrate them to a modern filesystem, presumably. ext4 is extremely reliable, btrfs is less proven but much more featureful with copy-on-write and snapshots.

    This isn’t any type of surprise, ResierFS was marked obsolete some time ago now.

      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…
