Hey. Anything new about the issue described here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg91046.html It was said that it might be a regression in 5.2 actually and not a hardware thing... so I just wonder whether I can safely move to 5.2? Cheers, Chris.
FWIW, my laptop is on btrfs since around late 4.x kernel times - also using archlinux. And it went w/o any issues through all the kernels since then to current one (5.2.9 as of this writing). It survived some peculiar hangs and sudden power offs without any bad lasting sideffects throughout btrfs existence as its main filesystem. It's on old samsung 850 pro ssd (though haven't tested if the disk is cache flush liar or not).
That to say I don't have any storage stacks underneath. On some other machines I use btrfs (on arch) as well, often with its builtin raid1 implementation - no issues observed so far.
