Dave, good to have a test case on the 3.0 kernel. do you have btrfs as root fs ? and can you show how are you using the btrfs mainly I would need 'btrfs fi show' let me try if I can reproduce. Thanks, Anand
Personally, I find that large compiles are very "useful" in making the issue occur sooner. I'm on gentoo, so when I was bisecting, I'd often just emerge openoffice and let it run for a while.
For observing, the best way I found was to run JOSM (Java OpenStreetMap editor). Browsing around a map is very interactive, so it's immediately noticeable when it hangs, and downloading map tiles all the time uses a lot of IO. In-browser map applications would probably work too.
My filesystem is partitioned with a small ext2 /boot as sda1, a 2GB swap as sda2, and the remaining space as btrfs / on sda3.
btrfs fi show gives: Label: none uuid: 28559ad8-7db8-402b-a93d-27ec9c5e943b Total devices 1 FS bytes used 102.83GB devid 1 size 144.90GB used 144.90GB path /dev/sda3 Btrfs v0.19-35-g1b444cd-dirty --Andrew -- 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
