btrfs ran before it could walk.
It is ok for a single disk FS. It is no ZFS though which is its largest problem, people keep marketing it as "linux awnser to ZFS"
No, it is not.
Maybe some day, but today it is no ZFS. I love zfs..
Further the ZFS utilities are far easier to use and understand. zfs and zpool commands well documented, and intuitive. btrfs utilities are are not, IMO
