Sorry Mark you're getting this message twice didn't reply to the list on
the first one.  Stupid new Gmail interface didn't default to reply to all.

Yeah Fedora's problem was that there isn't a fsck utility.  Which is kind
of odd b/c with a COW fully check summed file system that stores data in
multiple places for redundancy the actual use case for a fsck utility
doesn't seem to be there.  But just this week the scrub utility was
released which is part of the fsck work that's going on.  So I think we are
a couple of months away from BTRFS having all the user space tools
necessary to get included in a major distro as the default file system.
