It is not clear from the man page at
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Manpage/btrfs-filesystem if
`btrfs filesystem defrag -r` should follow symbolic links or not.
Perhaps the man-page should mention which behaviour is default.
I did some basic tests and it seems that on my setup it does not follow
symlinks.
Perhaps improve defragment with an option to follow symlinks and/or
subvolumes should be added?
Thanks!
