About Btrfs Assistant

Btrfs Assistant puts common Btrfs file system tasks into a graphical interface. You can view and manage subvolumes, work with snapshots created by Snapper, and run maintenance such as balance and scrub without typing the commands yourself.

It suits Linux users who run Btrfs, often with Snapper for system snapshots, and want an overview instead of working only in the terminal. It is released under the GPL.

Strengths

  • Manages subvolumes in a graphical interface
  • Works with Snapper snapshots
  • Runs balance and scrub tasks

Limitations

  • Linux and Btrfs only
  • Snapshot features depend on Snapper being set up
