Yeah, right now there's no persistent default for the allocator. I'm
still hoping that the object properties will magically solve that.

    There's no obvious place that filesystem-wide properties can be
stored, though. There's a userspace tool to manipulate the few current
FS-wide properties, but that's all special-cased to use the
"historical" ioctls for those properties, with no generalisation of a
property store, or even (IIRC) any external API for them.

 From the UI point, we proposed to add a specifier that would route the
property to either subvolume or the filesystem:

$ btrfs prop set -t filesystem bgtype raid0
$ btrfs prop set -t subvolume bgtype raid1


BTW, is btrfs going to support different chunk/bg type for subvolume?!
I thought data/meta/system chunk types are all per filesystem level,
and was planning to use superblock to record it...

If really to support that, does it mean we will have different meta/data
type for each subvolume?
That's a little too flex for me....

This has actually been a planned feature for a while, and really is needed to compete with the flexibility that ZFS gives for this kind of thing. System chunk types should still be set separately (although, once we have n-way replication, they really should be set separately from metadata to at least one copy per device in multi-device filesystems).
