   I'd recommend not running btrfs check --repair unless you really
know what you're doing, or you've checked with someone knowledgable
and they say you should try it. On a non-broken filesystem (as here),
it's probably OK, though.

   This is harmless.

   You can't. It's an artefact of the fact that you've got a RAID-1
(or RAID-10, or --mixed and DUP) filesystem, and that the standard
kernel interface for df doesn't allow us to report the correct figures
-- see [1] (and the subsequent entry as well) for a more detailed
description.

   Hugo.
