Because Btrfs is different, some things seem unfamiliar and strange. If you want to learn the details and the newest stuff, then btrfs.wiki.kernel.org is the place to go or btrfs.readthedocs.io.
Development of Btrfs started in 2007. Since that time, Btrfs is a part of the Linux kernel and is under active development. The Btrfs code base and filesystem-layout is stable . However, new features are still under development. Its main features and benefits are:
Snapshots which do not make the full copy of files
Volume Manager join partitions, split into subvolumes
RAID - support for software-based RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10
Auto-repair - checksums for data and metadata, automatic detection of silent data corruption
