No, certainly not until there's a working fsck tool -- at the moment
it's rather easy to kill a btrfs by just losing power.
I just added a paragraph to the main page of the wiki about this,
since we've had a few people on IRC express surprise that their
filesystem aren't fixable after power loss. Feel free to reword:
Note that Btrfs does not yet have a fsck tool that can fix errors.
While Btrfs is stable on a stable machine, it is currently possible
to corrupt a filesystem irrecoverably if your machine crashes or
loses power. This will be fixed when the fsck tool is ready.
- Chris.
