I just observed similar symptoms.

Check if there is a add/delete/balance/replace/resize running on the
file system.

In my case, there was a paused balance that I wasn't aware of (since
weeks? Months? …?).

Bug#866734: btrfs-progs: btrfs replace fails with unknown error

2017-07-01 Thread Russell Coker 
Package: btrfs-progs
Version: 4.7.3-1
Severity: normal

First I don't know if this is a btrfs-progs error or a kernel error.  But when
in doubt it seems most reasonable to file against btrfs-progs to get the
attention of someone who can help work this out.  Even if the kernel is doing
the wrong thing the utility should be able to be more helpful in it's error
messages.

# btrfs replace start -B 3 /dev/sdd2 /
ERROR: ioctl(DEV_REPLACE_START) on '/' returns error: 
# btrfs replace start -B /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdd2 /
ERROR: ioctl(DEV_REPLACE_START) on '/' returns error: 
# btrfs replace start -B /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2 /
ERROR: ioctl(DEV_REPLACE_START) on '/' returns error: 
# btrfs replace start -B 1 /dev/sdd2 /
ERROR: ioctl(DEV_REPLACE_START) on '/' returns error: 

The above is the result of some routine device replacement commands.

>From the above you can see that IDs 3 and 1 and devices /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdc2
are part of the filesystem and suitable for replacement.

btrfs-replace(8) and the above Wiki page both indicate that what I am
attempting is correct.
