this has been discussed several times on the list.
Since btrfs file level redundancy policy, the proper way for it to
behave is to show full physical capacity of the devices.
Usage will be correctly accounted, so if you write a 100MB file in
that raid1 FS tree
the used space will indicate 200MB of additional used space.
