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
