One question, is there a reliable partition converter for a new user with limited space which has valuable information and everything on /?
Standard btrfs-convert supports in-place conversion from reiserfs.
Hmm, https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/issues/40
Add reiserfs support to btrfs-convert
kdave commented Sep 8, 2017
Released in v4.13.
So we're asked to trust our data to a program that had its first release less than two weeks ago?
I think not.
This whole episode looks more and more like a bunch of btrfs fanbois deciding to force a herd of sheep into the abbatoir.
Even more fuck-in-the-making: - You have a small /(root) partition, lets say below 25GB with a non-btrfs file-system. - Yep, you can convert that with btrfs-convert. - Yep, the standard defaults will be used. - Happy pants-shitting with the next bigger update.
Because, due to the "standard defaults" for the btrfs and those oh so WONDERFUL snappshots, you are out-of-space.
So, Richard & Co. where are the modified "defaults" for such small /(root) filesystems with btrfs??
Either deliver working "defaults" for such a situation, or preach re-intall with bigger (more than 60GB) /(root) partition.

PS: After more than 23 years with Linux at home and at work, I have a great deal of dislike for Ext[234]-fs due to the I-node situation. But that is DWARFED by the dislike for Btrfs, due to the SUPER repair-ablility when something goes wrong with it.
WTF is every bit of change a reason to attack individuals? It's a bloody shame. And it annoys not just me, people even phoned me to complain about this incrowd ML.
I get private posts saying the contrary. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
