Hello. There is no tool to disable balance on unmounted filesystem. But you can use mount option skip_balance for this. -------- Original Message -------- From: Marc Haber <mh+linux-btrfs@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: March 31, 2016 9:21:12 AM GMT+03:00 To: linux-btrfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: How to cancel btrfs balance on unmounted filesystem Hi, one of my problem btrfs instances went into a hung process state while blancing metadata. This process is recorded in the file system somehow and the balance restarts immediately after mounting the filesystem with no chance to issue a btrfs balance cancel command before the system hangs again. Is there any possiblity to cancel the pending balance without mounting the fs first? I have also filed https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115581 to adress this in a more elegant way.
