Creating backup snapshots (8 per filesystem) causes No space left on device?

Howdy,

I have a little script that creates hourly/daily/weekly snapshots on a device
that
otherwise has plenty of disk space free:
gandalfthegreat:~# df -h | grep cryptroot
/dev/mapper/cryptroot     232G  144G   85G  63% /
/dev/mapper/cryptroot     232G  144G   85G  63% /usr
/dev/mapper/cryptroot     232G  144G   85G  63% /var
/dev/mapper/cryptroot     232G  144G   85G  63% /home
/dev/mapper/cryptroot     232G  144G   85G  63% /tmp
/dev/mapper/cryptroot     232G  144G   85G  63% /mnt/btrfs_pool1

I have kernel 3.3.1.

The FAQ of course talks about the topic:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/articles/f/a/q/FAQ_1fe9.html

but I can''t get the filesystem show command to output anything useful:
gandalfthegreat:~# btrfs filesystem show /dev/mapper/cryptroot 
Btrfs Btrfs v0.19
gandalfthegreat:~# 

and the btrfs df ssems to show that I''m ok:
gandalfthegreat:~# btrfs filesystem df /home
Data: total=169.01GB, used=134.70GB
System, DUP: total=8.00MB, used=28.00KB
System: total=4.00MB, used=0.00
Metadata, DUP: total=5.88GB, used=4.39GB
Metadata: total=8.00MB, used=0.00
gandalfthegreat:~# 

I read about rebalance but it''s a mostly new fliesystem will little
churn, and I''m
not anywhere close to full filesystem yet.

So far, when this happened, I''ve had to delete a set of older
snapshots.
This would make sense if I was close to full, but at 63% I''m nowhere
that.

Any idea what''s going on and how I can debug further and more
specifically
what I should capture next time I get a no free space error in userspace?

Thanks,
Marc

You need to run that as root.

The recommendation is basically a workaround for when the accounting
gets screwed up.  Balancing wouldn''t help in the case where the
filesystem is actually full.

I''ll watch for 3.3.x updates (I see nothing in 3.3.2 yet), thanks.

Or is it just a matter of reverting this patch?

That was run as root :)  ''#''

Thanks for the replies,

After I knew what to look for, I searched the archives some more and
they only seemed to point to this patch.
I have reverted it, but I''m still seeing the same problem on my laptop.

It sounds like I''ll have to downgrade back to 3.2.x unless there is
some other patch to revert that I missed.
