A major benefit of the Btrfs layout is these are subvolumes, which instead draw space from one volume pool. And that's lost with a conversion strategy. It also means going from a Fedora "standard" layout to a distinctly non-standard one because our Btrfs layout isn't like the result you'd get from what you're talking about. >> >> >> Chris Murphy >> > A question I have, forgive me if it seems stupid, is why not just change the standard? "standard" was probably not a good term for me to use instead of "preset". All I mean is, you can't do an ext4->Btrfs conversion and get the Btrfs preset the installer offers. You get something really different that not many people will likely have. So if you're the audience who wants a recommended layout by using installer default or guided path offerings, then you probably don't want to end up with something radically different.
