About WinBtrfs

## Winbtrfs

WinBtrfs is a Windows driver for the next-generation Linux filesystem Btrfs.

A reimplementation from scratch, it contains no code from the Linux kernel,

and should work on any version from Windows XP onwards. It is also included

as part of the free operating system [ReactOS](https://www.reactos.org/).

If your Btrfs filesystem is on a MD software RAID device created by Linux, you

will also need [WinMD](https://github.com/maharmstone/winmd) to get this to appear

under Windows.

See also [Quibble](https://github.com/maharmstone/quibble), an experimental

bootloader allowing Windows to boot from Btrfs, and [Ntfs2btrfs](https://github.com/maharmstone/ntfs2btrfs),

a tool which allows in-place conversion of NTFS filesystems.

First, a disclaimer:

You use this software at your own risk. I take no responsibility for any damage

it may do to your filesystem. It ought to be suitable for day-to-day use, but

make sure you take backups anyway.
