> btrfs is complicated to use and has many pitfalls that can lead to it eating your data

I use btrfs in preference over ext4 for Linux filesystems and turn on zstd compression for performance and a bit of space saving. It seems simple enough for my use case, though I'm not doing any snapshots etc.

What are some of the potential pitfalls?
