Just FYI: With quotas disabled it took ~20h to finish the balance instead of 
the projected >30 days. Therefore, in my case, there was a speedup of factor 
~35.


and thanks for the quick reply! (and for btrfs general!)


BTW: I'm wondering how much sense it makes to activate the underlying bcache 
for my raid1 fs again. I guess btrfs chooses randomly (or based predicted of 
disk latency?) which copy of a given extend to load? I guess that would mean 
the effective cache size would only be half of the actual cache-set size 
(+-additional overhead)? Or does btrfs try a deterministically determined copy 
of each extend first?
