I am new to btrfs and have begun exploring and testing it.  One of these tests is to install Fedora 18 into a btrfs volume only leaving /boot and swap on regular partitions.  BTW, this is on qemu/kvm/libvirt virtuals.

I discovered an error was occurring during bootup because systemd was attempting to start fsck.btrfs and it was missing.

1. Would btrfsck be the appropriate program to run at bootup?  If it is, with what parameters?

I'd check /etc/fstab. I'm pretty sure at the moment most distros including Fedora are defaulting to fstab options 1 1 for btrfs which causes the described behavior. I have filed a Fedora bug against the installer which is responsible for creating fstab.
