I am not aware of being able to directly convert an LV; copying your files = from a backup (or whatever) to a newly created btrfs is AFAIK your only option. = You can directly convert Ext4 partitions, though (and even revert), though I ha= ve not tried this myself. As to the kernel version, the recommendation is to use the most recent stab= le versions of the kernel and btrfs-progs. > So far, I have liked lvm, what's the advantage of btrfs over lvm? I also liked LVM while I had it, but I like btrfs even more :) . But yeah, = this has already been thoroughly answered. Additionally, you can also check the thread "planned btrfs conversion: questions", which I started, where others= also posted their experiences with btrfs (and ZFS, too, to a smaller degree). --=20 Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup --Sig_/0zVvBTD4VNdl2PVQA3MACr6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTdm6TAAoJEL/Q5oYsiHj0ve4P/3+Cr0QdNMKnUurt6mEEqFKm u2MK1E7E7n+I7nZqame/z1h7SXrFLu2WTXsBeyylsvkkCRcImGYy2rBCRZ+jdng7 qG501pR+anzF7KLJaysDhIg2NAAskZ6aVJGEohYf3158L8Sg+Aaf7VTyctw3RLw2 7uejwHhhPFNL7f8GdjQzOcBx030gB8c/ahx10gJiqWa2CsVZJxiNeW3nY9JM64PX Co28We9rFq7WH+dUT/UGeFmDNswOnCr6ljJfWn/0TjDrnGR45hvMpRFnBRkqt4Aq kDxBjwTFDHivTjse+ToiuDjiJRwOMFK0y48J/Xo94WOqNGk+PjoSLaiWZCA/7IX5 Ym3Dhm+rsbtHpX+NKVJBI57rEjLJquLqNlAsnF5UbCJIBmBCW29T0pee8m2BFf8w 7bmjvY+X8PL6Q5JKLMyy00u6dOcBX9gidt6M5hD6pRNaVCde3ZknvsG0YwhHPi4d K0qt1OBYSzaXuPw+Nz2ZXI04fvnNPZwpXcJvArkiEj1fDXe5OB2TRhwfTX1g8hfr Almep/gcM2d5P/LdyA2XRZ6G2b6tdRxcQaghrFeNrAS/PraRKQaQGdYIoWphEKAa ZOp5P/Qmvoz1AQDGZ7lhps1m9m6FNefBocMK87yFO0M+Kf+J/cHeT2KKNTKENAuO x/IEnOWPHrbicgK+PG/m =ILwI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/0zVvBTD4VNdl2PVQA3MACr6--
