Hello,
I'm currently experiencing some space issue on btrfs with linux kernel 3.10.
My btrfs partition is full and I fail to remove any data to give some
free space:
athena:~# rm -f /mnt/storage/current/backup/slash/var/log/syslog
rm: cannot remove `/mnt/storage/current/backup/slash/var/log/syslog': No
space left on device
athena:~# true > /mnt/storage/current/backup/slash/var/log/syslog
bash: /mnt/storage/current/backup/slash/var/log/syslog: No space left on
device
I tried to follow the wiki page
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Problem_FAQ#I_get_.22No_space_left_on_device.22_errors.2C_but_df_says_I.27ve_got_lots_of_space
but the balance operation fails due to lack of space:
athena:~# btrfs fi balance start -dusage=5 /mnt/storage/
ERROR: error during balancing '/mnt/storage/' - No space left on device
[ Kernel logs ] btrfs: 138 enospc errors during balance
I guess this scenario is not expected, or I am probably missing something.
Is there any way I can free some space and get back a writable filesystem ?
Some more info:
