Hi, I have 4 machines, all converted to BTRFS about 6 months ago, now all running Ubuntu Quantal with kernel 3.5.0-17 The matter is that all these machines are now getting slower and slower everyday, every disk access causing the disk to be 100% busy for long periods, to the point that I'm now seriously considering migrating everything back to ext4... >From the start BTRFS was "not very fast", still satisfactory, but now it becomes truly unusable. On one machine, I know have a typical complete boot time to a usable GUI that is over 4 minutes, with the HD still very busy for a couple more minutes afterwards, where it used to be around 35-40 seconds in ext4 ! Is there anything I could do to speed things back (without losing all my snapshots or doubling the size of data on disk)...? I already had made the move back from BTRFS to ext4 about 18 months ago, I found it had improved so was back to BTRFS, and I wouldn't have to revert back again :-/ Any advice or help greatly appreciated.
