Title:
  mkfs.btrfs cannot format partition if data present

Status in “partman-btrfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  One appears to be able to format a new hard drive with btrfs. However,
  if the system is reinstalled, and the partition is set to reformat and
  use btrfs again, mkfs.btrfs complains that data is present on the
  partition and refuses to format it without the -f flag.
