The first sentence of your first email
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/03/msg00682.html> is:

> Hi.

The second:

The third:

And so on.  In fact, I don't see the word "btrfs" anywhere in the email.

So, which sentence did Reco contradict by suggesting an alternative
approach?  I'm more than a little bit confused.

Oh and hey, as long as we're being meta here, why would you write a
sentence like:

> I have a block device on the local host /dev/something with data on it.

Why wouldn't you give the actual NAME of the block device, and say what
type of file system is on it?  Assuming it's a file system, and not a
raw partition used for swap, or an Oracle database, or glob knows what.
This vagueness serves no purpose at all.
