A few minor benefits:
* editors set highliting according to the extensions
* web access to the git repository (github) renders the .asciidoc
files:
* we can link to them from the wiki
* the files are editable via browser and such editations can be
submitted for merge easily

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
btrfs-convert - convert from ext2/3/4 filesystem to btrfs or rollback
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
*btrfs-convert* [options] <device>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
*btrfs-convert* is used to convert existed ext2/3/4 to btrfs filesystem,
|
|
and the original filesystem image is accessible as from separate subvolume
|
|
named 'ext2_saved' as file image.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: If one hopes to rollback to ext2/3/4, they should not execute
|
|
*btrfs balance* command on converted btrfs, since it will change the extent
|
|
layout and make *btrfs-convert* unable to rollback.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If one is satisfied with converted btrfs, and not longer wants to
|
|
rollback to ext2/3/4, it is highly recommended to remove 'ext2_saved' subvolume
|
|
and execute *btrfs filesystem defragment* and *btrfs balance* command on the
|
|
converted btrfs.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|

-N|--nodesize <SIZE>::
|
|
Set filesystem nodesize, the tree block size in which btrfs stores data.
|
|
The default value is 16KB (16384) or the page size, whichever is bigger.
|
|
Must be a multiple of the sectorsize, but not larger than 65536.
|
|
-r|--rollback::
|
|
Roll back to ext2fs.
|
|
-l|--label <LABEL>::
|
|
