Transactional server mounts in read only mode on /. This causes all btrfs management commands to fail. # btrfs balance start -f -sconvert=dup -mconvert=dup -dconvert=single / ERROR: error during balancing '/': Read-only file system There may be more info in syslog - try dmesg | tail However if you (on the same filesystem/pool) do this to /home, it works since that's mounted rw. This is an extremely surprising and unintuitive behaviour.
