Description

Migrating a filesystem from Ext4 (or other) to btrfs. NOTE: As of writing, btrfs does not have a working fsck.

Create an ext4 partition
Dump some data on it (large and small files)
yum install btrfs-progs
unmount the ext4 filesystem to be migrated
Run btrfs-convert on the partition
Mount partition
Verify if files are still a) present and b) sane.
Verify if a backup snapshot is created (TODO: Verify that this is default behavior)
