I tried btrfs a few years ago on a large hardware RAID6 array and experienced filesystem failures and loss of data when writing more than 16-TB.
Meh. 16TB... I tried it when 13.2 came out, and had two data-loss events (one severe) within 6 months on a mere 500 gig drive that was only a quarter full. If it happened Once I might have chocked it up to my ignorance. After the second event, I wiped the drive and went to something else.
