Hi, I have been following these instructions to migrate two disks from reiserfs to XFS: There are 3 disks in the mix - (all 4TB), an empty drive formatted as XFS (disk3) + two disks (disk1 and disk2) to be moved over. All has gone to plan, with step 7 running now from disk1 to disk3 (to a 't' directory on the new drive as suggested). When I have a look at the contents of disk3 from the GUI I see the files I expect + a corresponding 4.10KB file for each that has it's name beginning with '._' Hoping someone can tell me if this is expected while the process is underway - are these temp files created as part of the copy process ? Thanks. **UPDATE** I actually went and had a look at disk1 (source disk) and all those 4.10KB files are there, which explains why they're being copied d'oh. I still have no idea what they are though. **UPDATE 2** Did some searching and apparently these '._' files are a legacy mac thing that I don't see when using finder on the mac. Cheers.
