Hallo,

I wrote am 31.10.10 zum Thema btrfs-convert fails:

Next try: about 11 GByte data, about 690 MByte free: same crash.

[etc.]

These syslogd messages come when I try to mount the incompletely  
converted partition.

And then the system needs to be restarted ... mounting doesn't work,  
"halt" or "reboot" doesn't work.

------------------------------------------------

Another experiment: when the partition (about 11.7 GByte) is filled with  
about 9 GByte data, converting works fine.

How much free space needs "btrfs-convert"?

Does it need xx GByte, or does it need yy percent?

Depends this free space on the number of files? I have filled my testing  
partition with *.iso images, 2 to 4 files.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
