He has plenty of space. What you're describing is the case that either
data pool or metadata pool is full, the other has enough space and
nothing is left that could be allocated to the full pool. In this case
rebalancing would help. But in Tomasz' case there is enough space in
every pool, so the allocator should use it. This really sounds like a
bug.

Since kernel 3.18 this is done automatically.
