I cannot shrink btrfs filesystem although there is still data and metadata space left :

$ sudo btrfs filesystem resize -11G /home;echo $?
Resize '/home' of '-11G'
ERROR: unable to resize '/home': No space left on device

Here are some btrfs filesystem info about /home :

$ sudo btrfs filesystem df /home | column -t

Can you help me ?

You're requesting the volume to shrink by 11GB, yet you only have about 6GB unallocated.

You can more efficiently use allocated extents by rebalancing the volume. Executing a command similar to btrfs balance start /home will start that process, and it may take some time to complete.

But I don't know if that will free up enough for a large amount of shrinkage.
