Hi,

I'm trying to convert two ext4 FS to btrfs, but I'm surprised by the
time needed to do that conversion.

The first FS is on a 500GiB block device, and btrfs-convert is running
since more than 48h :
root      1978 25.6 47.7 748308 732556 ?       D    Feb18 944:44
btrfs-convert /dev/vg-backup/backup

The second is on a 340GiB block device, and the processing time is similar :
root     30192  5.2  3.0  73180 61520 pts/0    R    Feb18 121:04
btrfs-convert /dev/vg-balor/backup


Is it "normal", or is there a problem during the processing ?

Thanks,
Olivier

How much free space did those FS have? How many files were on them (was they
dominated by small or large files)?

Regards,


Lot of small files (like compressed email from Maildir), and lot of hardlinks, and probably low free space (near 15% I suppose).


So I think I have my answer :)

Thanks
