       TIL that #btrfs will happily run into a "no space left on device" wall with no possibility to write metadata anymore (which is needed for balancing and thus getting out of this situation) 🤦(btrfs haters and #zfs enthusiasts incoming in 3... 2... 1...)UPDATE: Solution is to `btrfs device add /dev/anEmptyDevice /<btrfsMountpoint>`, then run something like `btrfs balance start -dusage=5 /<btrfsMountpoint>`

       @nobodyinperson Last time I somehow managed to hit that on ZFS only truncate(1) worked, so that might be another solution too for btrfs.
