I have a 3 disk raid1 filesystem mounted with nodatacow. I have a
folder in said filesystem with the 'C' NOCOW & 'Z' Not_Compressed
flags set for good measure. I then copy in a large file and proceed to
make random modifications. Filefrag shows no additional extents
created, good so far. A big thank you to the those devs who got that
working.
However, after a balance run (which crashed btw), modifications to the
file result in increasing extent counts, ie. no longer obeying
nodatacow mount option nor the 'C' flag.
I realize that a balance will cow the data but it should not disable
the ability to make nodatacow inline changes to a file.

I'm currently running 3.5.0 mainline Ubuntu kernel with the latest
master of btrfs-progs from a ppa.

Thank you.
