ntfs2btrfs: In-place conversion of NTFS filesystem to Btrfs
I used to be in the &quot;why BTRFS&quot; camp and religiously would only install ext4 without LVM on Fedora for my laptops, desktops, and servers.  When I saw so many subsequent releases persist in offering BTRFS by default, I decided to try it for a recent laptop install, because honestly, the appeal of deduplication, checksumming, snapshotting, and so many other features that modern FSes generally come with (e.g., ZFS), I just decided to jump the gun and went ahead and installed it.<p>I can safely say it has not presented any problem with me thus far, and I am at the stage of my life where I realize that I don&#x27;t have the time to fiddle as much with settings.  If the distributions are willing to take that maintenance on their shoulders, I&#x27;m willing to trust them and deal with the consequences – at least I know I&#x27;m not alone.
