Subject: BTRFS constantly reports "No space left on device" even with a huge
 unallocated space

Hi guys,

I'm facing a daily problem with BTRFS. Almost everyday, I get the
message "No space left on device". Sometimes I can recover by balancing
the system but sometimes even balancing does not work due to the lack
of space. In this case, only a hard reset works if I can't delete some
files. The problem is that I have a huge unallocated space as you can
see here:

# btrfs fi usage /
Overall:
    Device size:		   1.26TiB
    Device allocated:		 119.07GiB
    Device unallocated:		   1.14TiB
    Device missing:		     0.00B
    Used:			 115.08GiB
    Free (estimated):		   1.14TiB	(min: 586.21GiB)
    Data ratio:			      1.00
    Metadata ratio:		      2.00
    Global reserve:		 512.00MiB	(used: 0.00B)

Data,single: Size:113.01GiB, Used:111.19GiB
   /dev/sda6	 113.01GiB

Metadata,DUP: Size:3.00GiB, Used:1.94GiB
   /dev/sda6	   6.00GiB

System,DUP: Size:32.00MiB, Used:16.00KiB
   /dev/sda6	  64.00MiB

Unallocated:
   /dev/sda6	   1.14TiB

It is not easy to trigger the problem. But I do find some correlation
between two things:

1) When I started to create jails to build openSUSE packages locally,
then the problem happens more often. In these jails, some directories
like /dev/, /dev/pts, /proc, are mounted inside the jail.

2) When I open my KVM, I also see this problem more often. Notice,
however, that the KVM disk is stored in another EXT4 partition.

I would be glad if anyone can help me to fix it. In the following, I'm
providing more information about my system:
