Hello,
I have a MyArchive drive formated as NTFS on my nimbustor 4. I would like to convert the file system on this drive to btrfs. Is it possible to do this without having to format the drive?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Convert MyArchive drive from NTFS to Btrfs?
Technically it's possible, https://github.com/maharmstone/ntfs2btrfs, but I highly advise against it as it's uncertain how ADM OS will handle this, I've never done this and probably will never need it. If you have a spare HDD, by all means give it a try.

External 5 Bay USB3:

- 480GB Intel SSD for modded dm-cache (initramfs auto update patch) and Apps

Thank you, Nazar78! I guess that if I have to backup everything on the drive anyway, I might as well do it properly through ADM.

Hi
I would like to format the "MyArchive" drive, I know I will loose everything in there.
I have tried via the storage manager but I don't see any menu to format the drive.
How do I go about it?
Thank You
Mario

I believe it's the remove button.
