This is just a hunch, but maybe the handling of spare files (such as .vdi) is not ideal or not what we're used to with extN. Normally "skipped" blocks do not count towards the disk full size, but given btrfs' nature they may count as a reservation that would certainly cause an early ENOSPC. You can try to narrow down the problem using qemu-img or dd. Example: qemu-img create -f raw test.img 16G See if it counts towards the disk fill count and ENOSPC threshold. See if it even completes at all :P -- Dmitri Nikulin Centre for Synchrotron Science Monash University Victoria 3800, Australia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
