Yeah, could be.. perhaps the issue is that despite the large amount of
total free space, the free space is too fragmented to satisfy a
particular allocation request..?

Looks like plenty of free large extents, with most of the free space
completely, unfragmented.

Indeed..
You need to look at each AG, not the overall summary. You could have
a suboptimal AG hidden in amongst that (e.g. near ENOSPC) and it's
that one AG that is causing all your problems.

There's many reasons this can happen, but the most common is the
working files in a directory (or subset of directories in the same
AG) have a combined space usage of larger than an AG ....
That's certainly possible, even likely (one huge directory with all of the
files).

This layout is imposed on us by the compatibility gods. Is there a way to
tell XFS to change its policy of on-ag-per-directory?
mount with inode32. That rotors files around all AGs in a round
robin fashion instead of trying to keep directory locality for  a
working set. i.e. it distributes the files evenly across the
filesystem.

http://xfs.org/docs/xfsdocs-xml-dev/XFS_User_Guide/tmp/en-US/html/ch06s09.html says:

"When 32 bit inode numbers are used on a volume larger than 1TB in size, several changes occur.

A 100TB volume using 256 byte inodes mounted in the default inode32 mode has just one percent of its space available for allocating inodes.

XFS will reserve the first 1TB of disk space exclusively for inodes to ensure that the imbalance is no worse than this due to file data allocations."

Does this mean that a 1.1TB disk has 1TB reserved for inodes and 0.1TB left over for data? Or is it driven by the "one percent" which is mentioned above, so it would be 0.011TB?
