Well, as the partition fills up at ~25 G of 30 G used, I guess that average metadata size is >=1G for that partition. And now I destroyed the evidence to make the notebook boot. The disappearing file, though, is a minor annoyance so I can keep it and do whatever is needed with btrfs-image.. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
