I just upgraded to Debian Testing which has the 4.18 kernel

My new stable fs is too rigid. Can't grow it, can't shrink it, can't
remove vdevs from it , so I'm planning a comeback to BTRFS. I guess
after the dust settled I realize I like the flexibility of BTRFS.


 This time I'm considering BTRFS as rootfs as well, can I do an
in-place conversion ? There's this guide
(https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-convert-an-ext3-ext4-root-file-system-to-btrfs-on-ubuntu-12.10)
I was planning on following.

Another thing is I'd like to see a "first steps after getting started
" section in the wiki. Something like take your first snapshot, back
up, how to think when running it - can i just set some cron jobs and
forget about it, or does it need constant attention, and stuff like
that.
