Description
It's possible to run out of metadata space on btrfs even when there's still plenty of data space. When this happens, it may be possible to rebalance to move some of the space to metadata, but sometimes it says there isn't enough free space to run a rebalance!
Monitor the metadata partition and prune/rebalance when that gets low too.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first locate the worker-node storage monitoring and btrfs management code in the repository. Determine how metadata-space pressure and rebalance failures are currently exposed, then verify that low metadata space triggers the requested prune or rebalance behavior without exhausting free space.
