OK, even though I got the switches wrong (should have been -hT) I can see what 
you've done.  First, I'll reiterate my long-standing "don't put / on an LV" 
recommendation.  Having the ability to boot from a read-only snapshot might 
make that less important, but I don't know that to be true yet.

Since btrfs is new to everyone in an enterprise environment, I'm not sure what 
you've done is of any real benefit.  A btrfs file system can span multiple 
physical (or virtual) volumes.  So, you can do a

btrfs device add dev1 dev2 /path/to/filesystem

if extra space is needed.  Having everything in one large btrfs on LVM doesn't 
help with the problem of a runaway process (or user) filling up everything, 
_unless_ you start using quotas.  I suspect most people on this mailing list 
haven't bothered doing that up until now, so this would be one more new thing 
to deal with.

It will be interesting to see what winds up working best for you and anyone 
else trying things out.  Thanks for helping me understand your setup.
