This is essentially a repost of a mail I made last week, to which I didn't get a reply.
I'm getting huge numbers of kernel warnings whilst using btrfs. They're all "warn_slowpath", and all seem to be in fs/btrfs/disk-io.c. I've included one typical example at the end of this mail. Kernel versions are 2.6.29-rc2, -rc4 and -rc6. If I do lots of writes to my btrfs filesystem (e.g. video encoding), I end up with a syslog in the tens-of-megabytes range. This makes logcheck an unhappy bunny... I don't know if this behaviour is expected, and everyone using btrfs simply puts up with it for now, or if it's something unusual that needs investigating. On the chance that it's the latter, I'm reporting it here. Hugo.
