Here is my /etc/fstab:

OK so it's just using the "top-level of the file system" (the default subvolume 
that has no name, can't be deleted, can be snapshot, is created at mkfs time) for the 
installation. No root or home subvolumes. Everything is just a directory. And no 
compression.

No big deal, it's fine.

This can happen with "advanced-custom" partitioning (a.k.a. blivet)  in the gtk-ui version of the 
installer. The "custom" and "manual" partitioning options do produce a different layout 
with separate subvolumes for each mount point. It's possible to use advanced custom to get subvolumes 
assigned to mountpoints too but it is not too obvious how without fiddling, and it's real easy to just assign 
`/` to the btrfs top-level.

He used the advanced configuration option in the installer. / and /home were created on different drives.
