Question about conversion time, running on Linux. #40

Open chexo3 opened 2 years ago

chexo3 commented 2 years ago

Hello! I have 16 GB of RAM, a Ryzen 5 5600G (Base Clock 3.9 GHz, Boost Clock up to 4.4 GHz, 6 Cores/12 Thread), and Windows Explorer says I've used 857 GB out of 930 GB total in the boot partition. Do you have any idea how long that would take to convert with my specs? I intend to boot into a fresh Alpine Linux install, then build and run ntfs2btrfs.

I would guess ${DATA_SIZE} / ${READ_SPEED}. But make sure you have enough free space. For now i assume 4% would be enough but have not tested yet.

4% was enough in my case. Time was as said, 480 GB /39 MBps
