I've been simply living with this issue. I can reproduce it by rsyncing very large files to a btrfs volume. My entire desktop will freeze for up to three minutes and no amount of nice/ionice can temper this. Once I've finished the rsync certain apps will periodically hang (Firefox in particular). This behavior goes away after a reboot. I'm running kernel version 3.0. -- -=[dave]=- Entropy isn't what it used to be.
