If you are into it, spend some time reading this thread (you will also find
idea(s) for testing):

Btrfs: broken file system design (was Unbound(?) internal fragmentation in Btrfs)
https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/18/144

I do not know to what extent the test results and technical overview are still
valid.

Perhaps there is a reason for btrfs being qualified as highly experimental in
Linux kernel ?

[linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git] / fs / btrfs / Kconfig
config BTRFS_FS
       tristate "Btrfs filesystem (EXPERIMENTAL) Unstable disk format"
...
         Btrfs is highly experimental, and THE DISK FORMAT IS NOT YET
         FINALIZED.  You should say N here unless you are interested in
         testing Btrfs with non-critical data.
