The Command processing for btrfs file systems uses the btrfs command so if you have procedures already in place for LVM then those procedure may have to be updated that’s all.

What are the considerations, pitfalls etc? We are going to install new (SLES12) machines in the near future and, just like Marcy, I am still considering what would be the best option. Either for system volumes (think of cloning systems) or user volumes (extending, reducing, performance etc).

I would look at your backup mechanism and make sure it is compatible before you commit to it.
