The part that confuses me is that you seem to have some big gaps where just a single CPU is stuck in IO wait, and not much CPU time is in use. Do you happen to have the blktrace logs for any of the btrfs runs? I'd be interested in a script that did sysrq-w every 5s and captured the output. -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
