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.

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

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.

WinBtrfs – an open-source btrfs driver for Windows
Not in its own. You also need a different boot loader. The author has an implementation called Quibble [0] that also supports btrfs.

Anyone using openzfs on Windows on a daily basis? Can ZVOLs be used to back WSL?
A custom bootloader for windows that works for WinBTRFS and others may eventually allow booting on mostly/entirely ZFS instead of symlinking user folders to a dataset or whatever. If ZFS isn’t ready yet, I’ll just try WinBTRFS instead.
