This is a known bug in 3.11 (and presumably earlier). Snapshot manipulation concurrency evidently wasn't originally well considered, and either a recent regression triggered the problem or possibly it always existed and only recently was reported (I don't know either way, tho the btrfs devs might). Either way, there's a patch both to address the problem and adding a regression test to the xfstests filesystem testing suite to catch future regressions, but it's too recent to be in 3.11 yet, and indeed, as of my update yesterday (3.12.0-03510-g9b66bfb), there hadn't yet been a btrfs pull in the 3.12 commit window yet either, so while 3.12 will likely get it, it's not there yet as of the above git snapshot. If interested in more, check recent list threads for the bug report and proposed patch. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
