If you haven't already done so, I'd also suggest posting this to the linux-btrfs mailing list (see https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_mailing_list)
Yes. I've tried removing files after adding the device. Unfortunately, there are no snapshots. I could try removing subvolumes. I'll try the btrfs list.
Out of pure curiosity I took a quick look at the archives of that list and it looked quite promising (though i'm not sure if it was the same OP).
If it works, could you post here also? I have a feeling you won't be the last person to run into this situation.
Removing subvolumes, and clobbering files didn't help, so I wound up starting over. The first thing I did was create a base subvolume, and then added a quota to it before creating subvolumes nested under it. Hopefully, this will help. Unfortunately, with the way btrfs reports free space, it will still be challenge to manage.
Thanks, Jameson
Hi! You should not use quotas on btrfs currently. It is known to cause significant performance issues on the long run (and potentially has many undiscovered bugs). If you wish I can dig up the relevant discussion on the btrfs mailing list for you. Regards, Garmine
