### btrfs fi df / Data, RAID1: total=4.49TiB, used=2.90TiBThere are about 1.5TB of available space in existing block groups, so those will be filled in first. Block group allocations will start on sdc2 after the existing block groups are filled.
Ok! This is what I didn't know. Now it's clear why Btrfs is not using /dev/sdc2 currently. New blocks would be put on /dev/sdc2, but only after currently allocated blocks got filled.
Unfortunately balance is the only way to redistribute the existing data onto new drives, so if you don't want to run balance, then you'll just have to wait until sdc2 fills in naturally.
Your answer above solved my problem. Thank you.
