First, you mentioned the crucial bit of information (that it's a btrfs
filesystem) only at the end. Also, you've left out important things such
as your running kernel and (to a lesser extent) version of btrfs-tools
(or btrfs-progs in newer systems).
As others have pointed, btrfs is the culprit. Take a look at these links
to try to understand what might have happened:
