## Details

The Btrfs file system provides the capacity to handle pooling, snapshots, checksums, and multi-device spanning in existing Linux file systems. For an overview of the Btrfs file system and its features, see [Oracle Linux 8: Managing Local File Systems](https://docs.oracle.com/en/operating-systems/oracle-linux/8/fsadmin/btrfs-main.html#xd_co_f=NjUzNDIzODAtMTcwNy00YzFlLTgxMDItNTM2YjIwZjBkMmQ0~) .

This tutorial describes how to set up your Oracle Linux system to use the Btrfs file system. This tutorial is targeted at users of Oracle Linux 8 or later.
This tutorial describes setting up a directory on external storage on your Oracle Linux system to use the Btrfs file system.

### Objectives

In this tutorial, you will learn how to:

- Create a Btrfs file system on Oracle Linux 8
- Create a Btrfs file system
- Run basic Btrfs commands to perform tasks such as:
- Checking file system usage
- Extend the size of the file system
- Recover a missing device
- Test and see how the file system works

### Prerequisites
- Minimum of a single Oracle Linux system running the UEK kernel

The tutorial uses the following system:
- Each system should have Oracle Linux installed and configured with:
- A non-root user account with sudo access
- Access to the Internet

- An Oracle Linux 8 system with the following configurations:
- has multiple storage devices installed
- runs the UEKR6 kernel
