Re:ntfs2btrfs: In-place conversion of NTFS filesystem to Btrfs

Gonna pitch in my anecdata:
Around the timeframe you mentioned, I lost a BTRFS filesystem when I filled it up. Probably could have recovered it if I had known more, but oh well. I definitely feel the gun-shyness!
However, I'd want to add that at a previous job, I had a ext4 fs go belly-up in a similar way. One day, just died without warning. Maybe could have recovered it, but like others have mentioned we'd have no guarantees about the data.
Moral of the story is, of course, always have backups :)
