I am not aware of being able to directly convert an LV; copying your files from |
| 10 |
a backup (or whatever) to a newly created btrfs is AFAIK your only option. You |
| 11 |
can directly convert Ext4 partitions, though (and even revert), though I have |
| 12 |
not tried this myself. |

As to the kernel version, the recommendation is to use the most recent stable |
| 15 |
versions of the kernel and btrfs-progs. |

I also liked LVM while I had it, but I like btrfs even more :) . But yeah, this |
| 20 |
has already been thoroughly answered. Additionally, you can also check the |
| 21 |
thread "planned btrfs conversion: questions", which I started, where others also |
| 22 |
posted their experiences with btrfs (and ZFS, too, to a smaller degree). |
