Naturally, having 586M busy you can't make that chunk go away, be it with or without auto-reclaim and usage filter accepting size as its input. Hmmm, whatever it did tough: I believe I had the BTRFS performance go down by a big margin by my playing around. I didn´t to any measurements yet, but apt-cache search could so much slower as well as starting Iceweasel. The SSD tends to feel quite a bit more like a harddisk. (It still feels faster tough.) And startup time has also raised: martin@merkaba:~ systemd-analyze Startup finished in 6058ms (kernel) + 9285ms (userspace) = 15344ms This has been about 8,5 seconds before. I can´t prove that this is due to a slower BTRFS, but I highly suspect it. So I think I learned that there is no guarentee that a BTRFS balance improves the situation at all. It seemed to have worsened it a lot. Well it was just my experimenting around. I didn´t have a real problem before and now I seemed I have to created me one. Now I wonder whether there would be a way to fix up the perceived performance regression except of creating a new logical volume with BTRFS, copying all the stuff to it and switching / to use the new volume. I did it the redo the filesystem way: merkaba:~ systemd-analyze Startup finished in 6602ms (kernel) + 4246ms (userspace) = 10848ms Thats not the about 8.5 I seen already, but it was the first start after activating inode_cache + space_cache, as I didn´t want to activate it on GRML 2011.12 3.1 kernel. The filesystem has been mounted with compress=lzo from the beginning. Which also made in space usage. Also Iceweasel and apt-cache are way faster now again. Almost instant. Next time I use an other BTRFS filesystem than my / one for experiments with balancing ;).

Signed-off-by: Chris Mason chris.mason AT oracle.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh AT linuxfoundation.org from 3.3.3. May I need to wait for a proper fix to global block reserve for the balance to succeed or do I see a different issue? Since scrubbing still works I take it that balancing was aborted gracefully and thus the filesystem is still intact. This is on a ThinkPad T520 with Intel SSD 320. I only wanted to reorder metadata trees, I do not think it makes much sense to relocate data blocks on a SSD. Maybe the reordering metadata blocks may not make much sense also, but I thought I still report this. Thanks, Hi, I think I have a similar problem, but in my case there is lots of free space available. So this might also be a bug. My problem: I wanted to convert the data of my btrfs from RAID0 to single. No matter if I use soft or not, the progress always stops with 3GB RAID0 remaining. The conversion is newer completed so new files are allways written to the RAID0 part of data. If i do a balance without special options, data is converted back to RAID0. This enospc error can't be correct because there is about 1 TB of space available.

This reverts commit 5500cdbe14d7435e04f66ff3cfb8ecd8b8e44ebf. We've had a number of complaints of early enospc that bisect down to this patch. We'll hae to fix the reservations differently. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason chris.mason AT oracle.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman gregkh AT linuxfoundation.org from 3.3.3. May I need to wait for a proper fix to global block reserve for the balance to succeed or do I see a different issue? Since scrubbing still works I take it that balancing was aborted gracefully and thus the filesystem is still intact. This is on a ThinkPad T520 with Intel SSD 320. I only wanted to reorder metadata trees, I do not think it makes much sense to relocate data blocks on a SSD. Maybe the reordering metadata blocks may not make much sense also, but I thought I still report this.
