I've also had a hard lockup just the other day during a balance (on a single device though), so this points to some changes in the 4.1 merge window. Just to confirm: by "hard lockup" you mean that the entire box is frozen, no longer shows any signs of life and no longer responds to anything? One thing you could try is to mount your devices without the free-space cache (-o clear_cache,nospace_cache) and try to run the balance. Would be interesting to see if that helps. -h -- 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
