have a btrfs horrorstory but tbh i still like it:

>be me
>use btrfs
>weird setup with lvm and crypto, gentoo and dracut
>happy
>full disk
>cant delete stuff because disk full. needs space to delete stuff
>creates dump file on another disk
>adds dump file to btrfs-partition
>deletes stuff
>yay
>works fine again
>restarts
>oh btrfs crashes. partition size and meta data dont match
> uhh :blobsweat:
>realize i forgot to remove the dump file properly
> i deleted it
>remembers the exact size
>creates new one. adds it to btrfs by chrooting from another non affected OS
>remove it properly
>reboots
>works


was a few years ago and not sure if this still can happen but being unable to delete stuff when the disk is full is a no-go for less adventurous users
