Maybe ill just forget about it and flash the dam conversion and forget about it.

Thanks again, Im going to be so smart! haha
Ok..a file system controls the way that data is stored...RFS is a proporetory file system made by samsung for flash based media that comes by default in our devices..EXT4 is a popular file system for linux and is open source.

IF your familiar with PCs..the ONLY way to change file systems is to format your partition/hard drive.

So here is what the script does:

1) makes a backup of your data to sd card
2) formats your partition on your phone to EXT4 erasing ALL data on your phone.
3) restores your data onto the new EXT4 partition.

there is no way around it :/
