No, iostat reporting the disk is at "100%" utilization.

No, I used to run snapraid-btrfs (uses snapper) but both projects are
effectively orphaned. There's no snapshots left, but I used to run
zygo/bees also on these disks but that also has basic problems
(specifically mlock' on GBs of data when it's sitting completely idle
for hours at a time). bees was not running when this happened (or for
the duration of the uptime of the machine).

Thank you, I'll give it a go after the reboot here. I don't think I
have quotas enabled but I did look at it at one point (I remember
toggling on then off).

All I/O seemed to be dead on the box.

I tried to remove the same data again and the task hung... this time I
was able to interrupt the removal and the box recovered.
