To add a 10% tolerance for btrfs was a bad idea.
Since the output of df(1) is not yet reliable on btrfs volumes while
data is not flushed to disk, the better implementation would be to
either let this test fail, or to force a flush to disk before taking
the output of df(1).
The latter is what I have implemented now.

This is a demo of what currently happens:
