AFAIK no, it isn't possible. Source: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg60385.html "It should be possible to deduplicate a read-only file to a read-write one, but that's probably not worth the effort in many real-world use cases."

You could always change them to RW while dedupe
is running then change back to RO.

AFAIK it will break send/receive, can someone confirm?
