Hi @AzTurk,

AFAIK you’ll have to completely repartition and reformat the drive, since it’s 2 different filesystems.

So, make backups!

Still, be very careful.

That is a prejudice :man_shrugging:

Btrfs Ext4 :rofl: can be (without :see_no_evil: repartitioning) seamlessly :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: converted to btrfs

I did this several times without problems :wink:
