 Btrfs needs maintenace like every filesystem. The more you use advanced features of btrfs, the more you have to watch for the right maintenance.
 === Fragmentation ===
-Files on btrfs tend to get somewhat fragmented, when they are appended or changed often. If you use a mechanical disk with slow seeks, it may be advisable to defragment some heavy used files from time to time (like once in a month). When the files are only written to, or are only read seldom, '''don't worry'''.

 ==== Databases ====
 It may be good to defragment a database if there is a ''noticeable'' slowdown when using it.
