Hmm I just tried the latest Fedora 15 live image
and was tripped up a bit by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.c

Anyway it uses 2.6.38 rc4 and "compress" doesn't
seem to be implemented for BTRFS there?
Writing a file of zeros showed a normal disk usage,
and filefrag -v didn't report any flags for the extents.

In any case, cp/fiemap-2 passed on each of
about 100 runs, even without introducing
and syncs.
