I do not use quota.
And looks like my distro does not use quita by default.
❯ btrfs qgroup show -f /
ERROR: can't list qgroups: quotas not enabled

It is not a regression, it also happened on older kernels.
But it is really annoying when the browser process waits when "podman
pull" writes changes to disk.
In fact, I have been waiting for 5 years for caching of slow HDDs by
using the cache on the SSD, but apparently I can’t wait.
And I started slowly buying expensive large SSDs to replace the big
HDD. I still can’t find time to connect D5 P5316 30.72 Tb to the
primary workstation.
I want to make a video review of it. I understand this is an expensive
solution and not suitable for everyone, unlike an affordable SDD
cache.
