I have a really large (3+ TB) volume I am copying to a BTRFS volume

I don't suppose there is a way to convert APFS to BTRFS :) I know, but
I thought I would ask as it seems like others may have a similar query.
Thx...
Hi Forrest,
No, there is no other option than copying the data. Converting
partitions automatically with btrfs-convert is supported only for
ext2/3/4 and reiserfs, though it's still not recommended without backups
and might fail.
