On that last one, subvolume quota, you've been following list discussion, 
right?  Just in case you haven't...

Btrfs quotas have been an incredibly tough feature to stabilize.  They're 
on the third rewrite and still have some major bugs to fix, so I'd say at 
least a couple more kernel cycles, then check again before using the 
feature.

So, unless you're actively testing and reporting bugs in that specific 
feature (in which case, thanks and please continue! =:^), I continue to 
strongly recommend leaving quotas off for now, as I have been for a year 
or more, now.
