Ntfs2btrfs is a tool that converts Microsoft’s NTFS file system to the open-source Btrfs system with stability, saving the original image and allowing for space flexibility. WinBtrfs, developed by Eric Biggers, also plays a crucial role in this conversion. Installation instructions for Windows and Linux are provided, along with a detailed changelog highlighting fixes and improvements. The tool successfully handles files, directories, security descriptors, and more, but has limitations with certain attributes and encrypted files. Surprisingly, it is possible to boot Windows from Btrfs using this tool, but with some uncertainties. Overall, a versatile and powerful conversion tool for filesystem enthusiasts.
