Like lvm, it might be wise to check that btrfs supports the various allowed 
characters.  I saw one reference to an old btrfs man page that disallows both 
types of slashes, however the current man page does not mention the 
restriction.

I don't have time at the moment, but I can try to test some scenarios some 
time later this week.
