I can't reproduce this right know, but it seems that creating lots of
snapshots, one per minute (keeping only a dozens of them) may block the
system. Every btrfs snap processes stay idle and the load skyrockets to 900.
I use an old version: 2.6.34.5 kernel, and the system is still very
responsive (web and mysql server).
I would apreciate if somebody could tell me about the current kernel (I
had stability issues with 2.6.35 series).
