As a new user, I certainly picked up on btrfs being discouraged, or not as 
stable as XFS.

e.g.
http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/filesystem-recommendations/?highlight=btrfs

"We currently recommend XFS for production deployments.

We used to recommend btrfs for testing, development, and any non-critical 
deployments ..."


http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/start/hardware-recommendations/?highlight=btrfs

"btrfs is not quite stable enough for production"

But this sounds sane.
