+WARNING: If one hopes to rollback to ext2/3/4, he or she should not execute
+*btrfs balance* command on converted btrfs.
+Since it will change the extent layout and make *btrfs-convert* unable to
+rollback.

Because "since" is subordinating and the sentence doesn't contain what
it is subordinated to as that's explained in the previous sentence,
"Since it will..." introduces a sentence fragment.
Thanks.

It seems my English is really poor... :(

Possible correction 1, combine the sentences:  Either simply eliminate
the period following the previous sentence, or convert it to a comma,
either way combining the sentences into one.
I'll take this one.

Thanks,
Qu

Possible correction 2, eliminate the subordinator:  Eliminate "Since"
and begin the second sentence with "A balance..." (replacing "it").

Possible correction 3, reorder and edit, something like this:

+WARNING: Do not execute a *btrfs balance" on a converted btrfs until you
+are sure you will not rollback, as a balance changes the extent layout
+and prevents btrfs-convert from successfully rolling back to ext2/3/4.
