May I say, in all honesty, DON'T DO THAT! If you take a look at the kernel 
mailing list you will see that btrfs is still a work in progress two kernel 
versions later. I highly suggest waiting for FC13 and upgrading to a somewhat 
more stable btrfs kernel, then trying on something other than root.

I've been playing with it on a 2.6.33-ck1 kernel, and while it hasn't lost my 
data, I haven't stopped running a backup often, and the performance is spotty at 
times.

I think it's in the 2.6.32 kernel. Good for testing, a little bit from 
production. I'm not timid, but you should really try before you buy.
