I recently decided to try out the snapshotting capabilities of the relatively new BTRFS filesystem. I have been using the snapshot and rollback capability of LVM (using lvconvert --merge) for a while now so I figured I would check out BTRFS to see how it stacks up. To get up to speed on how to use BTRFS I found the BTRFS Fun web page a good reference. I converted an existing Fedora 17 virtual machine to use BTRFS for the filesystems (I may cover how I did this in a later post).
