Not possible, due to how Windows is designed.

  1. Its not possible to convert it at the time that Windows runs chkdsk when the disk is in use?
  2. Can the boot disk be converted by using a USB stick that has a WinRE/Linux distribution on it?

By the way, I was able to convert a Windows Server 2003 VHD to BTRFS (minus the messages regarding compressed inodes, which still show up on the disk instead of being deleted).

  1. If you want to write such a thing, be my guest.
  2. Yes - by "boot disk", I mean "current boot disk".

How about you open this ticket and add a help wanted label?

  1. Converting the current boot disk shouldn't be recommended, or even allowed, for that matter. As for converting it pre-boot, that doesn't seem like a bad idea but it'd probably take quite a bit more effort to code.
  2. WinRE would have to have btrfs support and a copy of the ntfs2btrfs executable. As for a linux usb, it should work if compiled.
