WinBtrfs 1.5

BTRFS is a new file system on Linux systems, based on copy-on-write file system. BTRFS' many goals are fault tolerance, repair, and easy administration. Improved security, performance, and increased hard drive limits are other goals included in BTRFS. One day, this file system may replace EX4. Enjoy BTRFS on your Windows OSes and directly write to Linux partitions without a problem!

Features:

• BTRFS for Windows XP/Vista/7
• Reading and writing of Btrfs filesystems
• Basic RAID: RAID0, RAID1, and RAID10
• Advanced RAID: RAID5 and RAID6
• Caching
• Discovery of Btrfs partitions, even if Windows would normally ignore them
• Getting and setting of Access Control Lists (ACLs), using the xattr security.NTACL
• Alternate Data Streams (e.g. :Zone.Identifier is stored as the xattr user.Zone.Identifier)
• Mappings from Linux users to Windows ones (see below)
• Symlinks and other reparse points
• Shell extension to identify and create subvolumes, including snapshots
• Hard links
• Sparse files
• Free-space cache
• Preallocation
• Asynchronous reading and writing
• Partition-less Btrfs volumes
• Per-volume registry mount options (see below)
• zlib compression
• LZO compression
• LXSS ("Ubuntu on Windows") support
• Balancing (including resuming balances started on Linux)
• Device addition and removal
• Creation of new filesystems with mkbtrfs.exe and ubtrfs.dll

Requirements:
Windows XP or later

Instructions:
1) Extract files
2) Right-click "btrfs.inf"
3) On the right-click menu, click "Install"

Notes:
-If your Btrfs filesystem is on a MD software RAID device created by Linux, you will also need WinMD to get this to appear under Windows.
-In order to boot Windows from w Btrfs partition, replacing the Windows boot loader with ReactOS' is required!
-On Windows 10, you will have to disable secure boot to install the driver!
-More information can be found on the official github page!

Windows may require using ReactOS' bootloader after converting file systems.
