* filesystem usage - give an overview of fs usage in a way (道, みち, michi) that's more
* device usage - more detailed information about per-device allocations
* same restrictions as for 'fi usage'

Interesting.

Used these to create a filesystem, with btrfs-progs v3.17.3:

# mkfs.btrfs -O skinny-metadata -d raid1 -m raid1 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb4 -f

Now, with btrfs-progs 3.18 and these new options I can see that the fs is partially single, not RAID-1 - how come?

It's always been like that with a new FS. The small single chunks
are part of the way that mkfs works, and will go away on the first balance operation. It's harmless, and can safely be ignored.
