Hi,
I have on my ext4 filesystem some sparse files, mostly images from
ext4 filesystems.
Is btrfs-convert (4.9.1) able to deal with sparse files or can that
cause any problems?
AFAIK, btrfs convert can handle it well, not matter if it's sparse or not.
Secondly, it's strongly recommended to use latest btrfs-convert, which
is 4.10.2.
Although the convert part is not changed in recent release, but the
rollback part (which rolls converted btrfs back to ext*) under goes a
large modification to co-operate with convert.
Without that modification, rollback is not functional, which is fine if
you don't want to rollback to ext*, but just in case.
Thanks,
Qu
Thanks in advance,
Kai
