Hehe.. well always help to know you are not slowly going crazy by oneself.

As far as I can tell the rest of the filesystem works normally. Like I
show scrubs clean etc.. I have not actively added much new data since
the whole point is to balance the fs so a scrub does not take 18 hours.


So really I am not sure what to do. It only seems to appear during a
balance, which as far as I know is a much needed regular maintenance
tool to keep a fs healthy, which is why it is part of the
btrfsmaintenance tools 

Are there some other tests to try and isolate what the problem appears
to be?


Thanks.
