It is STILL a well known bug that running snapshots on a full disk (which many people do because things like du don't return sensible usage stats) will corrupt a filesystem beyond repair.

Higher-level raid (in other words anything above 0 or 1) is still very experimental.

I think the rebalancing problem has been fixed (which would iirc cause a system to apparently hang and in the past also trashed file-systems).

Btrfs is perfectly safe IF you stay within its known limits, ie don't use higher raid, and don't fill the disk up ...

Cheers,
Wol
