PS: I would bet that my kind of usage is a very good stress test for
btrfs.

- large file system "/backup" btrfs with compress enabled.

Content of the file system:
- ./server1 .... /server5  as directories
- for each server the directory has a structure like this:
  backup-YYYY-DD-MM-HH:M
  New backups are created with:
  rsync -axvH --link-dest=/backup/server'n'/backup-...(old, last dir)..
  server:/   /backup/server'n'/backup-YYY-.../.

This generates files with a large number of hard links.

I am using

btrfs subvolume snapshot -r

after a rsync backup for exact this case.
