How can I convert a iSCSI system disk from XenServer to another format

XenServer 6.2 to 6.5 - rebuild servers?

It appears the XenServer 6.5 has been released and it's quite a bit faster than 6.2 in many ways. When I installed 6.2 I accepted the various defaults and end up with a system that is awkwardly partitioned. Root is rather small (and perpetually…
