Hello,

Reporting this on behalf of ric.  He was running the following fs_mark command

./fs_mark -d /mnt/test -s 20480 -D 64 -t 8 -F

Seems it hung and wasn't making any progress.  He managed to get some sysrq-t,
which is at http://people.redhat.com/jwhiter/fs-mark-hang.txt towards the bottom
of the document.  He could ctrl+c and unmount the fs so its not a hard hang.
Looks like we've just locked up behind a page lock somewhere.  I have to run off
to class so I can't look into it too deeply so throwing this out there hoping
somebody else figures it out :).  Thanks,
Which kernel was this?

It actually cleaned up very nicely after I killed the fs_mark processes & unmounted the btrfs file system. Before doing that, the box was sluggish and had the feeling of a system with something that might have been spinning (but that is just an observation, not measured in any strict sense).

Ok, I have that fs_mark test running here.  How far did yours get before
it stopped?

I had gone (in heavy fsync mode) up to about 8 million files on a 1TB s-ata disk:

   17      8064000        20480          5.6         15301404

This is the new (no system sync() call) Chris special fs_mark. The rate had been quite reasonable, starting out at around 160 20k files/sec, went under 100 files/sec at around 3 million files and then fell under 50 files/sec at around 7.5 million before hitting this really low speed at just under 8 million.

Maybe it really was not hung, just extremely slow...
