I'm seeing corruption occur after doing a balance of a btrfs volume. Scrubs 
before the balance are error free. Scrubs after balance have many errors, so 
far all seem to be either unlisted or point to a systemd-journal log path. 
Example:

[  318.029771] btrfs: checksum error at logical 2209439744 on dev /dev/sda4, 
sector 6412464, root 256, inode 25764, offset 6746112, length 4096, links 1 
(path: var/log/journal/10db2764a11a4829bf82a94c6559d121/system.journal)

Further, this is not a corruption of btrfs metadata, but data itself:

[   19.354354] systemd-journald[210]: 
/var/log/journal/8e4cbfea404512ae70096c6202c9a3bf/system.journal: Journal file 
corrupted, rotating.

If I change systemd-journaling to volatile storage, erase the persistent 
storage location logs, reboot, and try to reproduce the problem, I can't. There 
are some reports of VM images on btrfs being corrupted somehow (although I 
don't think it's related to balance, I could be wrong), and the solution is to 
set VM images to nodatacow. So I wonder if there's some behavior of systemd 
journaling that's similar?
