Metadata
It is rarely recommended to include blocks with metadata in a balance. It is advantageous, in exceptional cases, if the following conditions are currently met: You can check with:
root # sudo btrfs fi us /
Metadata,RAID1: Size:9.00GiB, Used:6.58GiB (73.09%)
- Several GB of metadata are present in your filesystem (6.6 GB present, 9 GB used)
- This metadata is poorly distributed (73%)
- Significantly more than one full GB could become free (9 GB - 6.6 GB ==> 2.4 GB could become free)
The command is then:
root # btrfs balance start -musage=95 /
Btrfs had to move 9 GB of metadata to free up 1 GB !
Metadata,RAID1: Size:8.00GiB, Used:6.58GiB (82.20%)
