The biggest chance for being the source of errors is the Parallels Virtual machine where Linux (Suse 15.1) is running in. In this Virtual Machine I specify a “growing hard disc" that is actually a file on my 32 TB Promise Pegasus Storage. I just can not understand why it runs fine for almost 1 month (and actually more for other growing hard discs of smaller size) and then shows this behaviour. As soon as you “are sure" that btrfs is not the problem I will switch to different kind of hard discs. > >> What happened? >> -> This time I was just rebooting normally my virtual machine. I discovered during the past days that the system hangs for some seconds so I thought it would be a good idea to reboot my SUSE Linux after 14 days of working. The machine powered off normally but when starting it run into messages like the pasted ones. > > A complete dmesg leading up to the problem would be useful.

I have one System with Suse 15.1 where the error happened. The btrfs-progs is of version 4.19.1. The other system is 5.3.12-1-MANJARO with btrfs-progs version 5.4.
