 h English (en)=== Move a volume (to another disk) ===
There are a lot of ways you can move a "normal" filesystem from one disk to another. But there are dangers with moving btrfs volumes that do not exist with other filesystems! '''DonĀ“t ever move a btrfs volume with a tool that does not say it is 100% btrfs-proof.'''
When at any time there are 2 partitions in one computer that have the same filesystem UUID, one ore both filesystems '''may be destroyed'''. Under the topic '''tips''' you will find an easy way to do move a volume without any danger
{{BoxDanger|Do NOT|
* make a block-level copy of a Btrfs filesystem to another block device
* use LVM snapshots, or any other kind of block level snapshots
* turn a copy of a filesystem that is stored in a file into a block device with the loopback driver
* try to mount either the original or the copy while both are visible to the same kernel
See why at [https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gotchas Block-level copies of devices@btrfs.wiki.kernel.org]}}
{{BoxSuccess|Tip: move a volume|There is an easy and secure way to move a volume to another disk/device. If you use Btrfs itself to move the volume, there will be no danger. You even can do this while the volume is in use. [[Btrfs#move_a_volume|See how to in "tips"]]}}
