BTRFS handles data and metadata separately. This is an important factor to keep in mind when using a multi-device filesystem. It is possible to use separate profiles for data and metadata block groups. For example, metadata could be configured across multiple devices in RAID1, while data could be configured to RAID5. This is profile possible when using three or more block devices, since RAID5 requires a minimum of 3 block devices.
