Perhaps a couple of years ago I converted a 7TB and ~70% full Ext4 filesystem into Btrfs. At first the result showed up to have about 3TB of Metadata chunks, but several iterations of balance reclassified this as Data (and thus made it practical to also enable Metadata DUP). Everything went flawlessly and with no data loss whatsoever. But as we know recently there were reports that it now causes corruption or does not work. So I wonder what happened that broke it, and is there really no simpler fix? Even if requiring the user to balance to get rid of the bloated Metadata like I had to. -- With respect, Roman
