Volume on RN4220 read/only - trying to understand btrfs

What do you mean by "by default"????
"Unallocated" is the most useful type of free space. The report is just showing the amount of unallocated free space at the moment.
Upon further digging into online info on btrfs, "unallocated" is an unfortunate choice of terminology, particularly when btrfs reports the volume is full. btrfs seems half-baked at best, and it's too bad NetGEAR chose to use it in its infancy.
So, with zero information in any logs I can find about why this volume went R/O, and apparently lots of so-called free space, what am I left to conclude here?
root@bugs:/backup# mkdir foo mkdir: cannot create directory `foo': No space left on device
I do apprecate the response, but in the end, it doesn't help me to get any closer to solving my problem. I guess, technically, it isn't R/O, as I *can* delete things, but something has decided that, despite there being 20% or so free space, the volume is full.
