Once everything gets rebalanced though, I don't think I'd be missing out on any features, would I?

The default nodesize/leafsize is 16KB since btrfs-progs v3.12. This isn't changed with a balance. The difference between the previous default 4KB, and 16KB is performance and small file efficiency.

Ah, now it's coming back to me. The last major gyration I had on this filesystem (and the ultimate trigger for my original issue) was juggling everything around so that I could reformat for the 16kB node size.

Incidentally, is there a way for someone to tell what the node size currently is for a btrfs filesystem? I never noticed that info printed anywhere from any of the btrfs utilities.

In case anyone's wondering, I did balance the system chunks on my filesystem and "btrfs fi df" now looks normal. So thanks to all for the hints and advice.
