With BTRFS you can fillup all of data without problem, but is the "write speed" the downside: if your speed is slow (2-3 MB/s) you can fillup, if your speed is bigger (like 35 MB/s) BTRFS become unstable (maybe the CPU is bottleneck).
Mine solutions is the more linear and simple (destroy and replace), but you can resize BTRFS partition (commands here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/75120/how-can-i-safely-resize-shrink-a-btrfs-partition) and make a new partition with EXT4. Xeltros have posted a procedure: http://www.readynas.com/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&f=65&t=73537#pr412402
Is not a simple work and can't be done if used space is > 49% but maybe it work!
