Hallo, Struan,

Du meintest am 01.04.11:

1) Is the balancing operation expected to take many hours (or days?)
on a filesystem such as this? Or are there known issues with the
algorithm that are yet to be addressed?
May be. Balancing about 15 GByte needed about 2 hours (or less),
balancing about 2 TByte needed about 20 hours.

"dmesg" counts down the number of remaining "jobs".
are you sure? here is a snippet of dmesg from a balance i did yesterday (2.6.38.1)

btrfs: relocating block group 15338569728 flags 9
btrfs: found 17296 extents
btrfs: found 17296 extents
btrfs: relocating block group 13191086080 flags 9

btrfs: relocating block group 11043602432 flags 9
