Maybe you could try to leave a few unpartitioned GBs after the btrfs partition(s). In case the FS fills up just assign the unpartitioned space to btrfs and maybe btrfs will be able to grow over it. Or die with -ENOSPC. But I have never tried this (instead I keep an eye on my disk utilization) so it might be a good idea to try this theory on some loopback devices first :) Regards, Garmine
