Hi
You mean fdisk or format to ntfs? 
btrfs is the default selection of the installer, you just need to use
the expert settings to change to whatever filesystem you want…
If you use btrfs for the system, you can take advantage of snapshots
with snapper…

And one of I have wrote. Tested UEF1 tested on raid, FS on…
-Yeah it sucks with brfsf…
-on Xfs 'as home.
It was strange enought to see what systemD did to my partitioned local HD. Later Brtfs that,. And???
O-ho it willl get rolling when people is installing 13.2 and ask here in the forum as predicted…

Are there other advantages by using btrfs?
The last time i tried it with openSUSE 13.1 i ran into disk space errors
eventhough there was plenty of disk space left.
Is that solved now?
Well there really was not any space left the snapper space does not show up on normal utilities you have to use one of the btrfs utilities to see the space. So if you use a normal utility it shows plenty of space but actully ther may not be 
Fun Ha Ha
If you use BTRFS (which has some really neat bells and whistles) You need to allow at lest 50% more space then you plan to use and or adjust the way snapper works( there is a yast module) or turn it off. Do you really need hourly snapshots??? Oh well. In any case You can opt for ext4 at the install
In addition Grub can read but can’t write BTRFS. So hibernation can be a problem at this point. It is unclear if the work around actually works in 13.2. We will see I guess. In any case a separate extX boot will mediate the problem. ( allow 500 meg so to hold 3 kernels.)
And you get to learn all this after the default install LOL

Hi
Well it’s a supported filesystem bootable (aka snapper, not
the filesystem) snapshots, timelines are off by default, but I still
wind the number ones 4,2,1,1 (see the config file) down in the config.
You need to use;
btrfs filesystem show
btrfs filesystem df /
I have a cronjob that runs to put the data into a file conky can
display on my desktop (See my recent post in the screenshot sub forum).
For me as just the OS (as in /) it’s working fine, but my needs are low
on my laptops, for data I use ext4 or xfs. I don’t backup my OS anyway,
if in the unlikely event (yet to have that with btrfs) it goes belly up,
I just re-install and redeploy configuration files via SUSE Manager and
softlinks to my /data partition…
