IMO, creating a new disk also leaves you the safety of not modifying the
originals so that you can fail back over if something doesn't go well. Of
course take backups as well, but being able to simply switch between drive
images will make for quicker troubleshooting.

What steps would you go through to migrate the file systems over?
Would you set up a duplicate VM and rsync data over?  Expand the
capacity of the existing VM, add a new partition then move data over
from one partition to another from within the same VM?

What are your thoughts?


Both options seems reasonable to me.
If choosing to use the same machine, I would not expand the existing 
disk; rather I suggest adding a *new* disk to VM (formatting it with 
EXT4).

Does anyone know if it's possible to convert BTRFS partitions to

I think that you can convert ext to btrfs , but not the opposite.

The cleanest way is to reinstall .
