It is hard to say for sure. I would not know the details of EC2 guest
setup. The block device could be local but more likely is some form of
network attachment (iscsi, ndb). And btrfs is still a newer kid on the
block. So there still might be surprises just because of that.

You description was about what we wanted. Something that might be used
to come up with a reproducer which in turn could be run on bare-metal or
a different hypervisor to prove or rule out a tie with EC2/Xen. One
detail I did not see was whether  the btrfs was created with special
options (what mkfs.btrfs line was used). So we can get the as close as
possible (minus the cloudy details).

For your production systems. Is using btrfs a hard requirement or could
those at least work around by getting moved to ext4 or xfs? At least
until the btrfs issue is understood. Which could take a bit (at least it
is like  reading a crystal ball to make any estimate).
