This is half-true: Oracle supports btrfs if used in production, but the Linux team is not responsible for product certification. So, you can happily store Oracle binaries on btrfs (and I know a few customers that are now exploring this), but you can't use btrfs to store Oracle Database data. And why would you anyway, given so many better options, not least of which is Oracle ASM? And, Oracle Database is one of the few Oracle products that actually certifies filesystems for data storage. Where a product has no filesystem certifications at all, e.g. the middleware stack, you can also use btrfs.
