The data loss was bad enough, but never knowing how much actual space you have, the bizarre number of snapshots set up by default, and the sheer unnecessary-ness of the whole thing on a personal computer all lead me to avoid it.
Hi Did you try any suggestions here? https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Problem_FAQ#General_topics
I've had no issues with space here running btrfs @>=40GB it's not the filesystem but snapper and it's config IMHO. I only keep a few per day.
My that list has grown substantially since I first looked at it back when I was having the problem. I did try a couple of those things to recover space, trim down snapshots and recover some data from the first breakage. The second breakage was substantial, affected two partitions. I nuked two partitions and went to xfs for one and ext4 for / And of course, I never found a need to return to BTRFS just to have and opportunity to exercise some of those work arounds in the wiki.
