BTRFS driver for Windows

[Alan Orth]

Hah, a BTRFS driver for Windows. Obviously doesn't support a lot of advanced BTRFS features like RAID, compression, etc... but basic read/write and stuff are supported:

Impressive.

It *actually* installs properly on Windows 10, and can mount a btrfs partition from windows.

Benchmarks, anyone?

Good to know it works (yay for open-source software), but I think benchmarks are absolutely pointless in an alpha, featureless port of a Linux filesystem to Windows. Let's say that benchmarks showed it to be "fastasfuck", would you trust it? Even then, it doesn't support most of the advanced BTRFS features like compression, RAID, and probably snapshots. ;)

Yeah.

Also, if you have files (and file names) encoded in anything other than UTF-8, you'll get bent with this driver.
