Many thanks to you for the quick explanation.

I understand « no other bad effect » as « The FS will be OK again when 
this is fixed in the kernel, I can leave the disk in my drawer in the 
mean time » ?

Well I find that makes several recent problematic regressions in 
BTRFS... 5.2... 5.4...

I'm starting worrying about this development model.

Something as serious as an « Enterprise grade filesystem » that has been 
under heavy development for about ten years is not supposed to be a toy 
that breaks every now and then and couple patches is it ?

Or it would mean that it would ever stay a toy, not an enterprise-grade 
FS...

Kind regards.
