Writing a lot to the file(s), with larger pieces at file-offsets that belong to those large extents makes btrfs CoW allocate new extents but does not free the original space in the large extents (no extent splitting in btrfs).
You could run: # filefrag -k -v /var/lib/mysql/* to see what the situation is, but migh be too much data. In theory, if you would read and writeback the full offset+size of the larger extents, the original large extent space is freed. You get more fragmentation then, but should not be big problem on SSD (if /dev/sdb1 is that) File(s) re-creating with nodatacow mount option on might also be your choice. And make sure you have no hidden snapshots somewhere, but I assume you have checked that. Another brute-force work-around would be to run: # btrfs fi defrag -r -v -clzo /var/lib/mysql/ so to force rewriting info smaller extents, but you probably don't want compression on those file(s) > btrfs fi df /var/lib/mysql > Data, single: total=78.00GiB, used=72.39GiB > System, single: total=32.00MiB, used=16.00KiB > Metadata, single: total=1.00GiB, used=109.61MiB > GlobalReserve, single: total=48.00MiB, used=0.00B > > This is fresh fs (seven hours old) > Created by btrfs-progs 4.1.2 > Linux 4.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.2.6-3~bpo8+2 (2015-12-14) > x86_64 GNU/Linux > > Btrfsck not found any errors on this device > > P.S.
