Basically, when your btrfs is full, just create a loopback device, add it to the array, rebalance and then remove the device. This is what I had to do this Sunday :)
I don't know if you saw the beginning of the thread, but what started this whole mess was I allowed a raid6 btrfs filesystem to fill up, and couldn't balance it even after adding a real disk. (I tried a loopback device first.)
