I've tested both versions on a 3 disk bundle of 3 TByte disks (data raid0, meta raid1). mkfs.btrfs ... /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd made some more problems, especially when recognizing or deleting the disk(s). Maybe that's a problem more related to "util-linux" (especially "wipefs" and "blkid"). Partitioning first with gdisk and then mkfs.btrfs ... /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 runs better (perhaps without problems). Viele Gruesse!
