PARTUUID=SomeVeryLongUUID /home btrfs 0 2 PARTUUID=SomeShortUUID /boot vfat defaults 0 2

get the btrfs new partition UUID : ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ (can be done graphically in gparted too).

change the /etc/fstab to boot with the new setup:.

sudo umount ext4 : it’s no longer needed.

sudo sync & sync to make sure everything is written to disk.

sudo cp -a migrate home content to subvolume (making a copy just in case).

sudo rsync -avhP ext4/ to copy everything from root (in ext4) to (root) subvolume.

mount ext4 partition (let’s say in ext4/, a directory that you create first) : sudo mount /dev/sda2 ext4/.

sudo btrfs subvolume create sudo btrfs subvolume create sudo btrfs subvolume create - optional.

In my case it’s was partition /dev/sda3 (it should be the third one, but on a different sdX or whatever depending on what kind of device interface you use).

mount btrfs partition (let’s say in btrfs/, a directory that you create first) : sudo mount /dev/sda3 btrfs/.

in the additional space, create a btrfs partition.Īlternativement, use btrfs-convert and then move folder in appropriate subvolumes (created later ↓).

Not needed if you don’t use it) and zstd package if you want zstd compression.

Install btrfs-progs (unless it won’t boot with btrfs. The partition setup is boot + / (ext4 filesystem).

flash this 64bit Yunohost image to the Raspberry Pi Installer YunoHost | Yunohost Documentation.backup some config files ( bash_aliases, /root/.config/htop, list of installed packaged…).NB: dumping here the list of operations, not sourced not explained correctly, at least as a beginning, mainly to remember it for next time and in the hope it will help someone else… don’t trust me 100% and don’t trust this not to be outdated I also create a dedicated subvolume for snapshots.

For reference, while the Pi Foundation developed a way for the 4 GB of RAM limitation in Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit, an individual process could not use more than 3 GB of RAM.Ok, so I found no way to convert it, and decided to do a full resinstall (as painful as it can be) because I needed to convert it to a proper and btrfs (filesystem) setup to use timeshift (goal : have very regular instant automated “backups” of the whole system).

Still, Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit allows the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B to use more than 4 GB of RAM without a workaround. Currently, this version lacks a WidevineCDM library, but the 32-bit version does. Also, Liliputing notes that Widevine DRM-protected content will not work on the 64-bit version of Google Chromium.

If you want to download the 64-bit version, the Pi Foundation hides it within the Raspberry Pi OS (other) category, along with Raspberry Pi OS Lite. In fact, the Raspberry Pi Imager utility defaults to Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit. In a blog post, the Pi Foundation stresses that 32-bit versions of Raspberry Pi OS will continue to be available. Hence, all recent Raspberry Pi machines from the Raspberry Pi 3 onwards will be capable of running 64-bit versions of Raspberry Pi OS. For context, the Pi Foundation has used 64-bit processors in its single-board computers (SBC) since 2016.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has finished beta testing 64-bit versions of Raspberry Pi OS, previously only available as a 32-bit operating system.
