Fedora has maintenance tools: btrfsmaintenance: Scripts for btrfs maintenance tasks btrfsd: Btrfsd is a lightweight daemon that takes care of all Btrfs filesystems on a Linux system. *btrfs-assistant: *GUI management tool to make managing a Btrfs filesystem easier. I use btrfs-assistant which has a weak dependency on btrfs maintenance. I have been using default settings on 3 systems (laptop, old iMac, and desktop) with SSD's for several years, but do backups on spinning media with XFS (from many years with XFS on SGI IRIX64 I come to trust it). -- George N.
