Don't be surprised when a kernel from back when btrfs was still marked as 
experimental sets your machine on fire; the experimental warning was only 
removed in 3.13.

The Kconfig for 3.10 said:

        help
          Btrfs is a new filesystem with extents, writable snapshotting,
          support for multiple devices and many more features.

          Btrfs is highly experimental, and THE DISK FORMAT IS NOT YET
          FINALIZED.  You should say N here unless you are interested in
          testing Btrfs with non-critical data.

          To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here. The
          module will be called btrfs.

          If unsure, say N.

I think the "enterprise" distros have done their users a huge disservice by 
shipping it enabled before it was ready.. :-(

All the best,
Chris
