WinBtrfs is an open-source Btrfs filesystem driver for Windows, reimplemented from scratch in C with no Linux kernel code. It supports reading and writing Btrfs volumes including RAID0/1/5/6/10, compression, subvolumes, snapshots, and send/receive.
Use cases
- read a btrfs partition from windows
- mount linux btrfs drive on windows
- access btrfs raid5 array from windows
- boot windows from btrfs filesystem
- convert between ntfs and btrfs workflows
- share a btrfs disk between linux and windows dual boot
When to choose
- you dual-boot Windows and Linux and need to access Btrfs volumes from Windows
- you need RAID5/6 or subvolume/snapshot support for Btrfs on Windows
- you use WSL/LXSS with Btrfs-formatted disks
When to avoid
- you only need read-only access and prefer a simpler userspace tool
- you need zoned (HM-SMR) or full fs-verity support, which are not yet implemented
- you cannot tolerate filesystem risk - always keep backups when using it
