Yes, something similar with snapshots happened to me at a previous job. That led to the filesystem getting 100% full, and with btrfs, you can not even delete files anymore if you reach that point. This specific bug has been fixed since then, but still feel that although btrfs works much better than most are saying, it's still too easy to shoot yourself in the foot.

You should try btrbk one day. I had a much better experience with it than with snapper.
