The design of the convert utility is pretty good - the convert is effectively atomic - at any point during conversion, if you kill power midway, the disk is either a valid ext4 filesystem, or a valid btrfs filesystem.
- jorvi 3y agoIt is atomic, but at least for me it left both types of checks that BTRFS can do with unrecoverable errors for a few blocks. All in all not too terrible and I just accepted the bogus data as good by resetting (?) the checksums for those blocks. But acting as if it’s just a terminal command and Bob’s your uncle.. that’s just wrong.
