(Kernel version, output of btrfs fi df and btrfs fi show) Defrag is not the same as balancing, and neither is quite the same as the balancing of the internal b-trees that make up the filesystem. Either way, this sounds like a bug that was fixed a few releases ago, but it's hard to say if that's the case without the requested information. Also, please place your replies below the original text, not above it. That's common practice on development mailing lists, and makes following the conversation much easier for others. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html may be a useful read as well. -- 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
