Not sure if this btrfs error was benign or not.

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/17

Booting the VM gave this in the log:

# btrfs balance /
WARNING:

    Full balance without filters requested. This operation is very
    intense and takes potentially very long. It is recommended to
    use the balance filters to narrow down the scope of balance.
    Use 'btrfs balance start --full-balance' option to skip this
    warning. The operation will start in 10 seconds.
    Use Ctrl-C to stop it.

Booting from a rescue DVD, then checking with an unmounted /dev/sda2 nothing is wrong:

Both had the same version:

# btrfs version
btrfs-progs v4.13

If I ever need recovery, then these links likely help:
