Currently, in the functions is_btrfs, stat -f will incorrectly report device paths because /dev/ is a virtual filesystem and classified as tmpfs.
Eg.
This is correct behaviour for stat as according to the coreutils info docs:
As the BTRFS documentation specifies <path|device> in all the commands, this is obviously undesirable behaviour for the is_btrfs function.
This patch uses df to work around the virtual nature of devices in Linux, while still retaining compatibility with paths.
Hope this helps.
