I read the man and web page, and ended up using the defaults:

$ mkfs.btrfs /dev/xyz

To use compression, just mount with "-o compress". That's all :)

/etc/fstab:
/dev/mapper/vg0-portage /gentoo btrfs noatime,compress 0 2

I installed sys-fs/btrfs-progs-0.19-r1 and I have the 'acl' flag on.

I haven't done anything fancy since then, and it justworks(tm) ;)

Bye,
Daniel
