As Michael said, there's a convenient utility to convert your ext4 to 
btrfs, which can be installed with a few commands (if it doesn't come on 
the LiveCD).
This is actually a Good Thing since btrfs doesn't even have fsck yet and 
so isn't meant for the average user.

BTW, I tried using btrfs on a test machine and managed to kill it 
completely in a few hours without trying.
