[sles-beta] Thinking about SLES11 migration testing, BTRFS and sub-volumes?

[Darren Thompson]

Just thinking out loud, please ignore if not relevant to you...

I know that you can do an "in place" migration from SLES11 to SLES12
I know that you can do an "in place" migration of ext3 (the SLES11 default)
to BTRFS (the SLES12 default)

Done correctly an in-place SLES11 => SLES12 should produce a server that is
indistinguishable from a clean install of SLES12 (except for retaining data
etc)

How do you set up the other "default" BTRFS sub-volumes and how do you
move/migrate the existing subdirectories into the default BTRFS sub-volumes.

Is there a migration tool/script that would help to "complete" the ext3 =>
BTRFS migration process?
