Yes! I actually gave up on the one drive. It was a torrent disk (like I said worst case scenario for a lot of things) and btrfs ate itself lol.

  To be fair, it didn't break or lose data. Just got really, really slow until I let it finish reclaiming space.

    Yeah. On my end it just slowed to a completely unusable level. So while it technically didn’t lose data it effectively did since I was looking at weeks to replicate any data off it. I let it run for a week and it was still crawling when I gave up (4TB drive)

      Was it a SMR drive, by a chance? You can make those crawl with any filesystem. I even had one that couldn't finish initial Time Machine backup.

        I just double checked the drive and it is. I forgot about that aspect of it. However I have run this same drive out of space using ext4, zfs, and xfs playing with it (it’s a drive I use for torrent etc) and none of them have crapped out like btrfs did on it.
