I see the same metadata spread as with the old filesystem in btrfs fi
df,
totl at 23 and used at 2.38 GiB. What I find strange is that this
filesystem has Data, System and Metadata in "single" profile, is this
the new default for a 200 GiB file system?
Single is default for data.  Metadata (and system) will normally default 
to dup on a single device, raid1 on multi-device, EXCEPT on detected 
SSDs, where it defaults to single as well, because the firmware on some 
ssds will dedup it in any case.  If you know your ssd isn't one of the 
deduping ones (as I do, here), you can of course overrule that by 
specifying modes at mkfs.btrfs time.
It was both times the same Samsung 840 EVO. Has this SSD detection
been added recently, or did older versions of mkfs.btrfs not detect an
SSD through a crypto layer, maybe?

Greetings
Marc
