We used autodefrag but it didn't help: performance degrades over time. One possibility raised in previous discussions here is that BTRFS's autodefrag isn't smart enough when snapshots are heavily used as is the case with Ceph OSD by default. There are some tunings available that we have yet to test : filestore btrfs snap filestore btrfs clone range filestore journal parallel All are enabled by default for BTRFS backends. snap is probably the first you might want to disable and check how autodefrag and defrag behave. It might be possible to use snap and defrag, BTRFS was quite stable for us (but all our OSDs are on systems with at least 72GB RAM which have enough CPU power so memory wasn't much of an issue).
