Also a rebalance when running systemd causes problems with all the recent versions, something about the way it pre-allocates space for it's log files.
I *think* that's the same bug, at least it's the only outstanding balance bug with a patch that I've seen (and on the btrfs list it's described that way in response to your systemd bug report).
Yes. It's an unfortunate combination given that there's a strong correlation between people who are willing to test a new init and people who are willing to test a new filesystem...
3.11 has problems with removing dozens of snapshots at the same time.
I think that's meant to be fixed as of 3.11.6 and 3.12 (again as mentioned by someone on the btrfs list in response to your report).
I've just tested that on one of my less important systems and it seems OK. But that system didn't crash so much anyway, I'll probably wait a week before I try 3.11.6 on my file server. My file server is currently running 3.10.11 which is OK as long as I don't run a balance (systemd issue) or a scrub (kernel OOM and lockup).
The sort of testing & reporting you're doing is really important!
I've not managed to break it in any of these ways yet, but then I'm just being (deliberately) really boring with my use of it (for now). :-)
I think I'm being boring too. No quotas, the only extra features I'm using are scrubbing (which you should do with a RAID-1 no matter how it's run) and snapshots. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
