I was very excited about btrfs' advanced features, but that meant that btrfs would bite me multiple times when I expected it to 'just work™':
- RAID5/6 are still not stable
- it will not mount a RAID in degraded mode automatically, failing the high availability promise that might tempt you towards RAID.
- swapfile support exists, but it breaks snapshots (and I don't want to snapshot the swapfile)
- Just an Ubuntu/Debian thing, but snapshots are not integrated into the update process unless you install `apt-btrfs-snapshot` (and know that package exists)
