Why Should You Consider Btrfs? (2)
Raid 0, 1, 5, and 6 are also built in the filesystem
You won't need multiple partitions or LVM Logical Volumes anymore, so you'll never have to resize a partition.
File compression is also built in (lzo or zlib)
Online background filesystem scrub (partial fsck)
Block level filesystem diff backups (btrfs send/receive instead of slow rsync)
Btrfs-convert can convert ext3 to btrfs while keeping your data, but it can fail, so backups are recommended and a normal copy is better.
