We need a decently-available system. We can rollback filesystem to 
last-known-good if the "test" detects an inconsistency on current btrfs 
filesystem, but we need a very good test for that (i.e. if 
last-known-good is actually bad we get into serious troubles).

So do you think btrfsck can return a false "OK" result? can it "not-see" 
an inconsistency?

Thank you
