Steam Deck BTRFS was working well before, now it's eating storage space
I believe compression on mount is enabled. Steam runs sdcard-mount.sh on startup, and from the beginning I've been using a modified version of this file that mounts with compression enabled, if I'm reading it correctly (the option compress-force=zstd:15).

Cannot find sdcard-mount.sh after the update
I formatted my SD card with BTFS to use it on Windows partition. Everytime when I get an update, I was just changing the sdcard-mount.sh file (I am following this : https://github.com/Trevo525/btrfdeck). However, after today's update, I couldn't find the files as they used to be.
- Signs of SD card failure or user/Steam Deck issue?

SD card unusable after trying to format it to btrfs
Hello. I first used this program here https://gitlab.com/popsulfr/steamos-btrfs and succesfully converted the main partition to btrfs. I forgot that it formats new sd cards to btrfs, and I also followed this guide https://github.com/Trevo525/btrfdeck I went to gaming mode and tried to format the sd card, but it says that there has been an error during the format no matter how many times I try. I connected the sd card to the pc:
- Bought a 1TB SD Card. I figured this little preventive measure is essential to protecting my removable storage investment.
- Was it ever possible to read the SD card on Windows?
- btrfdeck compress-force a bad idea?
- 1TB SSD + 1TB SDCARD.. Running good so far.

Am i just being dumb or is there no way to put things on a Micro SD card on my PC, and use that card on my Deck?

ERROR: parent subvol is not reachable from inside the root subvol
Not an error I've seen before or that makes much sense to me at first glance, might want to take this to https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/issues or the mailing list?

Understanding btrfs with uneven disk sizes
You can test it by allocating the space to see if it can use it all: e.g. fallocate -l 3.8t /mnt/elfstone2/butts should succeed. If it does, then it's probably fine even if the balance didn't do what it should have. If not and you run out of space with some unallocated space left on only one device, not so much. If its the same bug I saw that means if your fs was created pre kernel 5.19, it will not allocate correctly on >5.19 until the array is rebuilt under the newer kernel.

What does the btrfs autodefrag option actually do?
Mount options should be documented either at https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Administration.html or at the manual page section 5 (man 5 btrfs). Autodefrag is in section https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Administration.html#btrfs-specific-mount-options . In case you find more information missing, unclear, lacking cross-references please open an issue at https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/issues .

Sure, btrfs-balance is slow, but this is ridiculous
Resume sort of doesn't work, when you resumed it will have started a fresh balance with a high usage value (check your syslog to confirm).

Is it normal for btrfs scrub "bytes scrubbed" to exceed 100%?
That's the hint. It's an unfixed bug with the accounting when scrub is paused and resumed, the relevant issue is I think https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs/issues/227 .
