I have experienced machine lockups on four separate cloud machines, and reported it in a few venues. I think I even reported it on this list in the past but I can't find that right now. Here's a bug report to Ubuntu-Kernel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1349711 Regularly rebalancing the machines and ensuring they have >10% free disk (filesystem) and I don't experience this. Yet I read in this thread I read that regular rebalancing shouldn't be necessary? FWIW, trying to sell BTRFS to my colleagues and they view it as a stupid filesystem "like the bad old windows days when you had to regularly defragment". They then go on to say they have never experienced machine lockups on EXT* (over a fairly significant length of time). So what can I tell them? Are we just hitting a bug which is likely to get fixed, or must we regularly rebalance? .. or is regularly rebalancing incorrect and actually regular machine lockups are the expected behaviour? :-) -- 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
