Btrfs isn't the default in Fedora 21 and isn't expected to be until
Fedora 23 or 24.

The Btrfs raid56 code has been in the kernel for a while, but only
since kernel-3.19 is btrfs replace, scrub, and self-heal possible. I'd
say it's now a good deal closer to stable than experimental, but
raid56 is still a gray area. I can't suggest enough having more than
one backup, but that's emphasized more if the primary one is on Btrfs.
