Working with yast?
Sound weird, when I just want to create a FS on some SAN LUNs for specific use.
So in this case BtrFS with all its features seems is not to be yet mature enough, sorry

Background: 
I would like to compare the use of BtrFS and XFS on LVM2 logical volumes in context resizing, defrag, balance. 
So using yast for BtrFS just because of some for me not transparent automatisms this  is not really user friendly.

But good to know
Thanks a lot

Best regards

Correct, you shouldn't use mkfs.btrfs yourself directly but
do this via YaST2 storage module. The reason is, that YaST2
enables/disables the features in a way that a by us supported
btrfs filesystem will be created. This is not always given if
you call mkfs.btrfs directly.
In this regard nothing has changed compared to SLES11 SP3.
