Hello list,

I've been using btrfs for nearly 6 months now, on three machines, with
no problems but for _one_ filesystem on one machine. The problem is
the message in $subject.

For this particular filesystem, which contains qemu-kvm disk images in
raw mode with caching mode set to "writeback", the symptoms is that:

* in 2.6.34 and lower, I could mount the filesystem, with the "parent
transid verify failed" message appearing once;
* with 2.6.35+ and upper, however, not anymore: I mount it and the
same "parent transid very failed" message now floods dmesg, and I
cannot kill -9 any program trying to access that filesystem.

I sent a mail to the list at the time: I bisected that to
5bdd3536cbbe2ecd94ecc14410c6b1b31da16381. The problem is still there.

And this morning, while doing a btrfs filesystem defragment on the /
of one of my machines (the one I'm writing this mail from, in fact), I
saw this message four times again (kernel 2.6.36-rc5):

Does that mean that there is corruption on the filesystem, somewhere?
I just fear that I get into the situation of the hosed filesystem
which I cannot mount anymore...
