Thank you very much, that seems to have done the trick:
# fallocate -l 4GiB /var/tmp/btrfs-temp-1
# fallocate -l 4GiB /var/tmp/btrfs-temp-2
# losetup -f /var/tmp/btrfs-temp-1
# losetup -f /var/tmp/btrfs-temp-2
# btrfs device add /dev/loop0 /broken
Performing full device TRIM (4.00GiB) ...
# btrfs device add /dev/loop1 /broken
Performing full device TRIM (4.00GiB) ...
# btrfs balance start -v -dusage=1 /broken
Dumping filters: flags 0x1, state 0x0, force is off
DATA (flags 0x2): balancing, usage=1
I'm guessing that'll take a while to complete, but meanwhile, in another
terminal:
# btrfs fi show /broken

Data, RAID0: total=2.77TiB, used=67.00GiB
System, RAID1: total=8.00MiB, used=192.00KiB
Metadata, RAID1: total=4.00GiB, used=2.49GiB
GlobalReserve, single: total=512.00MiB, used=0.00B
Do I understand correctly that this could require up to 3 extra devices,
if for instance you arrived in this situation with a RAID6 data profile?
Or is the number even higher for profiles like RAID10?
