Comment # 105 on bug 1063638 from Daniel Pecka

and I have to repeat myself ...

requirement for doing balance is situational and NOT needed to be run on time
scheduled regular basis !! With quotas and without quotas it still moves
unnecessarily huge amount on data and decreases the lifetime of drives and it
also triggers unhealthy drives or drives in predictive failure state to die
before they normally could !!!

It's broken concept that everybody who uses btrfs just does it periodically by
default .. This needs to be removed and not just fixed with tape and crutch by
disabling quotas ..
