    We've had a number of complaints of early enospc that bisect down

May I need to wait for a proper fix to global block reserve for the bal=

to succeed or do I see a different issue?


Since scrubbing still works I take it that balancing was aborted=20
gracefully and thus the filesystem is still intact. This is on a ThinkP=
ad=20
T520 with Intel SSD 320. I only wanted to reorder metadata trees, I do =
not=20
think it makes much sense to relocate data blocks on a SSD. Maybe the=20
reordering metadata blocks may not make much sense also, but I thought =
I=20
still report this.

Thanks,
