Re: Kernel 3.19 and still "disk full" even though 'btrfs fi df" reports enough room left?

For whatever unknown reason, Ubuntu repeatedly chooses to stabilize on exactly
the wrong kernel versions. Their recent releases were based on kernels 3.11,
3.13 and 3.19. None of these were chosen by the upstream as the "longterm"
branches, and as you can see none are listed anymore on https://www.kernel.org/

To emphasize -- the mainline Linux kernel developers (and Btrfs developers)
basically do not care anymore about 3.19 at all. What you currently use, is a
piecemeal of unknown quality, cobbled together by Ubuntu developers from
patches lifted either from 3.18 or 4.1 series -- by taking fixes they deem
important and frankensteining them together until they somehow seem to apply.

And do they back/forward-port Btrfs-related bugfixes?... all of them?... are
they doing that well enough? Just nobody knows.

So my suggestion would be to try a newer kernel from www.kernel.org: if the
problem disappears at 4.1 then just keep on using that, or 4.3 if you have to,
but otherwise that one might be a bit too new to start using right away.
