What I remember (not a linux developer) is that sometimes you have to rebalance the filesystem. You can have free space in megabytes, but no inodes left. (If I am wrong someone might correct me). There have been instances, especially later on in its lifecycle, where a system update was aborted due to no space (inodes) which ended in a lot of trouble.
- solarkraft 6y agoI've been using btrfs as my main file system for about 6 years now and have run into the "no free space" issue about twice. It's horrible. Everything stops working and freeing space is quite hard. Other than that I had no issues with it. Subvolumes and snapshots are pretty cool to me, but I can see how the added overhead might not make sense in a processing power and space constrained environment.
