Public bug reported: Similar to #1629576, but now with a boot partition after the Fedora Workstation installer told me that I do need a boot partition.
I created a mirrored btrfs volume in a VM for testing before installing: sudo mkfs.btrfs -f -m raid1 -d raid1 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb4 I then tried to install with ubiquity to one of the btrfs partitions (according to http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Installieren_auf_Btrfs- Dateisystem/ this is okay).
