Is there a similar article but about BTRFS?

  Ars Technica sorta went over BTRFS exclusive features. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/01/bitrot-and-atomic-cows-inside-next-gen-filesystems/3/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/01/bitrot...

  I'll say that reading about the ext3 to btrfs conversion made me laugh - it's a mad scientist thing that builds all the btrfs pointers in the ext3 free space, pointing to the data blocks as stored by ext3, and it keeps the filesystem readable as ext3 until it's completed and mounted as btrfs.
