I have an older setup created by anaconda from 2013, and it looks like
UUID=7246327b-1905-4fe2-9b6b-b9376017264f / btrfs
subvolid=5,subvol=root00 0 0
UUID=2c04be93-34c1-4016-ba41-60fd9fd90616 /boot ext4
defaults 1 2
UUID=7246327b-1905-4fe2-9b6b-b9376017264f /home btrfs
subvol=home 0 0
So we have only 1 disk. There is 1 btrfs partition, but root and home are 2
different btrfs subvolumes. This is a good setup IMO, since I can reinstall
the OS without touching home.
I recently got a laptop and did F21 install using btrfs, and I believe I
used automatic partitioning. This time, I got just 1 btrfs subvol with home
as a subdir, which does not offer the flexibility.
I suggest the default for btrfs should be as shown above, with home on a
separate subvol.
