    WinBtrfs - an open-source btrfs driver for Windows

  • So you want to be able to access the drive from windows too? That might be a little tricky, as linux cant install on some file systems, while windows cant read pretty much those exact file systems. Now, this leaves two options. Number 1: You go and make a seperate /home partition, that can be ntfs or fat32 or whatever windows will accept, while keeping your root in ext4 or whatever you like. Number 2: Make a single root partition, and format it as btrfs, then use an experimental btrfs driver and mount your flash drive that way. Keep in mind however, that its an experimental thing. This driver worked fine on one pc, however, on another it caused bluescreens every 2nd time id turn on the pc.
