Thanks Linda, I located the kernel message. Is it normal such issues
are not tracked in the project's bugzilla:
http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=Btrfs
which only contains 5 bugs ?!

I suppose it depends on whether its a bug with something that's
supposed to work or whether its a feature that's not quite
implemented yet.  I think in this case, btrfsctl is providing
some basic capabilities to assist development and testing and
is quite likely to evolve, so to me this wasn't a bugzilla item.
Chris might have different advice though.

/dev/sdb has a btrfs, while /dev/sdc is blank. What's that output
supposed to mean ? Is it a bug ?
I think not so much of a bug as not completely implemented.
If you look in /var/log/messages or where every your kernel
messages go, you'll see information about the file system on
the device.  At least that's how it worked for me.
