What's wrong with the filesystem is that there shouldn't /be/ a need to create a 2-ish gig extent. All btrfs native structures are 1 GiB each or smaller, and the completed-without-error btrfs fi defrag should have eliminated any > 1 GiB structures remaining from the conversion from ext*, such that btrfs balance only has to deal with <= 1 GiB structures. So that balance is having to deal with a 2-ish gig extent at all is indicative of a bug. Balance isn't prepared to have to allocate 2-ish GiB extents in the first place as that's beyond it's design specs. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
