Dear btrfs experts, 

I hope this is the correct place to ask, the wiki and manpages did not help me 
on these questions. 

BTRFS has gained extended inode refs, skinny metadata and no-holes quite a 
while ago and these are now the defaults for new mkfs.btrfs. btrfstune can 
activate those features. 

However, I miss two things: 
- How do I see on an existing FS which of these features are on? 
  btrfstune (it seems) can only "set", but not "get" the feature flags. 
- Is it worthwhile / recommended / safe to activate those on existing FS? 
  Are there any steps (e.g. balancing metadata with -musage=0, I'd guess) 
needed to make them become active afterwards? 

If there is any documentation on this and I missed it, please RTFM me. 

Cheers and thanks a lot, 
        Oliver
