Bug Hunting in Btrfs
Can this be used? I knew ReactOS would use it natively.

And so it begins. Im debating on weather to go BTRFS or NTFS.
I loose out on BTRFS snapshotting and subvolumes then. And if you look at winbtrefs it’s more than a hobbiest project. It has quite active development progress constantly https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs

Software for syncing files between NTFS and Btrfs partitions.
I've installed the WinBtrfs driver on Windows, which supports read/write support for Btrfs partitions.

Steam Deck dualboot. How to share storage?
Install WinBTRFS so Windows can read the file BTRFS file system.
- Is there ways to backup only modified files to a local drive?

Best SSD file format to use between fedora and windows
I don’t know if that tool allows to write but this GitHub page https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs seems mature enough. I am still unsure to trust it because I could bork my SSD and files
- How will a micro sd card work on a dual booted steam deck?

Uh oh. Used WinBtrfs to run a balance check on the partition with the Linux OS on it and now the drive is locked and it's booting into emergency mode
https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs scroll down to mappings and that *should help with sharing things between both OSes.

Missing Space - BTRFS Balance is the Answer?
Hello. I have a 2 TB nvme mounted as a subvol that contains dockervols. I recently noticed this discrepancy df -h | grep nvme0n1p1 /dev/nvme0n1p1 1.9T 1.3T 569G 70% /data vs. sudo du -h -d 0 /data 1.1T /data I tried using the btdu tool but I am not sure if I had it installed correctly as it didn't show the output like the examples shown on the github (https://github.com/CyberShadow/btdu)

Name a program that doesn't get enough love!
btdu fastest and easiest tool to analyze space usage in compressed btrfs with lots of snapshots (especially in expert mode)
- Ncdu – NCurses Disk Usage
-
More trouble with BTRFS 😑
It doesn't seem BTRFS's fault. You could run btdu on your subvolumes to understand what's going on.
-
Defrag eats space?
However, honestly, the best way to get a quick overview of where all your space is being used is btdu.
-
Space allocation
If you want to diagnose where you think there may be space used up that you don't quite understand, then btrfs fi du and third party tools btdu and compsize are useful.
-
Disk usage after large deletion
And btdu to get an overall impressions of where space is being used if the above isn't useful enough.
