Which three are features of the btrfs file system?

Option B (Correct):Btrfs uses a copy-on-write mechanism for both data and metadata, which ensures that the file system is more resilient to crashes and data corruption.

Option E (Correct):Btrfs supports online resizing, meaning that you can change the size of a mounted Btrfs file system without unmounting it.

Option G (Correct):Btrfs automatically defragments files in the background to maintain performance.

Option A (Incorrect):While Btrfs does support mirroring, it is not strictly block device mirroring in the traditional sense like RAID; it uses a different approach to redundancy.

Option C (Incorrect):Btrfs is not a cluster file system; it is designed for local file systems.

Option D (Incorrect):While Btrfs can store small files efficiently, it is not its primary design goal compared to other file systems optimized specifically for small files.

Option F (Incorrect):Btrfs is a file system with integrated volume management capabilities but is not a general-purpose volume manager like LVM.
