I noticed that.

I also noticed that they mention reiserfs as btrfs-convert-ready.  That I 
didn't know.  I thought btrfs-convert only supported ext*.

Tho I'd guess ext* has had more testing, and given the headaches I've 
seen people posting here having with it, I'd strongly recommend creating 
and testing a backup and restoring from it onto the new btrfs, as opposed 
to doing the direct convert.

Still, I wasn't aware it was even possible, and definitely not that it 
was good enough for SuSE to support. Cool that it is. =:^)
