BTRFS: error (device sda1) in cleanup_transaction:1831: errno=-24 unknown [CAUSE] The anonymous device pool is shared and its size is 1M. It's possible to hit that limit if the subvolume deletion is not fast enough and the subvolumes to be cleaned keep the ids allocated. [WORKAROUND] We can't avoid the anon device pool exhaustion but we can shorten the time the id is attached to the subvolume root once the subvolume becomes invisible to the user.
