brtfs doesn't have an fsck yet. I've been waiting for it before I try it. Is it really safe to go ahead without this, or will it be ready by release?

as someone with a btrfs partition containing a handful of broken inodes (according to btrfsck), I'd say wait. btrfsck takes ages during each boot AND cannot fix problems. I'll switch back to ext4 when I find the time (and a plug compatible for my external drive.)
