Hi,

one of my problem btrfs instances went into a hung process state
while blancing metadata. This process is recorded in the file system
somehow and the balance restarts immediately after mounting the
filesystem with no chance to issue a btrfs balance cancel command
before the system hangs again.

Is there any possiblity to cancel the pending balance without mounting
the fs first?

I have also filed https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115581
to adress this in a more elegant way.

Greetings
Marc
