## AI overview

A ReactOS GSoC 2018 progress report describes work to add installation and boot support for BTRFS partitions. During the first two weeks, the author explored setup utility internals, enabled BTRFS formatting and installation, and tested the FreeLdr bootloader with Windows XP and Windows 2003, which still had some bugs.

## Source excerpt

Introduction Hi all! My name is Victor Perevertkin and I am the only GSoC student in ReactOS project this year :) This is my first GSoC and I was very excited when I realized that I was selected and there will be four mentors for me. I will definitely learn a lot from this internship! My project is both simple and complicated. I want to add to ReactOS an option to install on and boot from BTRFS partitions.
