Hello,
-by the way: I think my mail did not appear in the list, but only
reached Chris and Qu directly. I just tried to re-send it. Could this be
caused by
1) me not a subscriber of the list
2) combined with me sending attachments
I did *not* get any error message by the server.
I was tempted to ask, whether this should be fixed. On the other hand, I
am not even sure anything bad happened (except, well, the system -at
least the copy- seemed to hang).
Definitely needs to be fixed.
With full dmesg, it's now clear that is a real dead lock.
Something wrong with the free space cache, blocking the whole fs to be
committed.
So, what's the next step? Shall I open a bug report somewhere, or is it
already on some list?
If you still want to try btrfs, you could try "nosapce_cache" mount option.
Free space cache of btrfs is just an optimization, you can completely
ignore that with minor performance drop.
I will try that, yes.
Can you confirm, that it is unlikely, that I lost any data / damaged the
Filesystem?
Regards,
Hendrik
