I have (among my machines) a Thinkpad > T22 on which I have run btrfs with kernel 2.6.37-rc4. Sometimes it > hung, too. But it's an old machine, with old RAM, with some old disks. Is the hung comparable to what I have seen? I.e. mouse pointer and stuff still works, but when entering a command the shell does hang? I can't completely rule out a hardware related problem as well, but then with 2.6.36 the machine now just works again as if nothing happened - its mostly running at 733 MHz instead of 1.13 GHz and the fan still expels a steady stream of lukewarm air. I think I have to run it with 2.6.36 at least a week to see whether its stable with that one. Its not important to run it with 2.6.37 so thats not a problem. Its just my Amarok machine. Maybe it would be a good idea when you compare with 2.6.36 as well... > It has hung some time ago also without any btrfs partition and with > older kernel(s). > > But I'll test again. I will also continue to test with a 2.6.37 on a workstation at work, but there only some scratch partition uses BTRFS. My T23 has / and /home on it.
