OMV 4 appears to be based on Debian 9 (stretch).  If it's truly Debian,
then it should be safe to use backports.  If you s/buster/stretch/ with
the following instructions you will have access to btrfs-progs 4.20, the
last supported version for stretch-backports.

  https://backports.debian.org/Instructions

If you can upgrade to OVM 5, then you can use buster-backports and will
have access to btrfs-progs 5.7 today, and newer versions as they pass
migrate to testing and are then backported to buster (Debian 10).

If you want to try building the buster-backport on OMV 4, try:

  dget http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/btrfs-progs/btrfs-progs_5.7-1~bpo10+1.dsc
  cd btrfs-progs-5.7
  apt-get build-dep ./
  dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

but I haven't tested this, and it may not succeed (IIRC you'll need
newer libzstd and other things), and of course it's easier to use recent
live media as Chris Murphy suggested.

Regards,
Nicholas
