Hi Mitch, for issue (1) I proposed a small patch here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg19574.html which resolves it for me. The problem is that there are subvolumes that still exist in the root tree, but don't have their ROOT_BACKREF entry anymore. However, Miao's rework of the subvolume listing code was to improve its scalability, which my quick patch somewhat breaks....So you can try the patch meanwhile, but Miao will probably want to something smarter... Thanks, Alex.
