I can hang on to the system in its current state, I don't particularly
need this machine fully operational.

Just to be proactive, I ran the btrfs-image as follows:

btrfs-image -c9 -t4 -s -w /dev/sda2 dumpfile

http://phead.us/tmp/sgreenslade_home_sanitized_2016-09-16.btrfs

In the mean time, is there any way to make the kernel more verbose about
btrfs errors? It would be nice to see, for example, what was in the
transaction that failed, or at least what files / metadata it was
touching.
