Good day, This might be something you are already aware of, but I thought I should inform someone of what happened to my sytem. I was running ArchLinux with kernel 4.1.3-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux and executed btrfs-convert /mnt from an ArchLinux live disk to convert my ext4 filesystem to btrfs. The conversion was seemingly successful, but after booting journalctl --verify reported some corrupt files. I saw on a an online post that I should try to do a btrfs balance start after converting from ext4, and so I executed the command and left the laptop to complete the task. The next morning however I found the system frozen and had to do a hard reset. After this the filesystem was unmountable. The initial boot after the hard reset left me in an emergency shell at which point I tried to mount the system and the shell stopped responding. Booting a live disk and running btrfsck exited with a segmentation fault. Attempts to mount the filesystem also exited with a segmentation fault or the shell seemed to be waiting for the command to complete for very long and did not respond to CTRL-C. I know nothing of kernels or filesystem drivers and I hope I am not waisting any body's time with something that was probably my own fault. I have since reinstalled my OS and in hindsight I should probably have attempted to save some of the kernel log files.
