Backing up Btrfs (was: btrfs or ext4)

Brief recap: I'm currently using BorgBackup, which among other things does compression and deduplication. I'm looking at the pros and cons of changing to Btrfs for backup (I already use it as my main fs). The backup drives are currently ext4 so would need to be converted. Now read on. Following C

Migration to btrfs: Is a reinstall the best way?

My plan is to upgrade from my current 500GB Samsung EVO to a 1TB version and copy all my data over. Creating the subvolumes and updating fstab is easy enough, but what else needs to be done? Would a reinstall do any "magic" that's difficult to do by hand? Thanks, Richard

I'm not even sure what to file a bug against. This makes no sense to me. I have four Raspberry Pi's on Fedora 34. One RPi4 and Three RPi3s, all running aarch 64. I also have numerous other RPi's on Fedora 33 aarch64 that are running just fine, parallel configurations. I'm not upgrading any of

Slight tangent, but once getting new flash, test it. I recommend using f3 on any new USB stick. It's in Fedora repo. The project is originally intended to identify fake flash. It'll report a larger capacity than it has flash memory for, and has firmware that does a loop. Super convenient that if y
