Docker btrfs "no space left on device" when "processing triggers for libc-bin" in Ubuntu 14.04 host & container

repro.sh

# When running Docker (0.8-0.11.1) on an Ubuntu 14.04 or Amazon Linux host,
# using btrfs, the btrfs partition fills up when building a container with
# docker-in-docker.
#
# STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
# 1. Launch a new EC2 instance with Ubuntu 14.04, 64-bit, m3.large.
# 2. Log in with `ssh -i /path/to/key.pem ubuntu@ec2-hostname`.
# 3. Copy this script to the EC2 instance and run it.
# 4. Wait ~3 minutes, and you'll see the error at the bottom.
#
# This issue does not occur when using 'FROM ubuntu:12.04'.
