I'll try this in a few days when I've first comfirmed that my SSD is still 100% stable under 3.5.3 (so far it is). After that, I'll go back to 3.6.3 and see what it takes to crash it. But as per my original report and http://marc.merlins.org/tmp/crash.jpg this does look like a sata layer problem, which btrfs isn't responsible for. Also there is still that unaddressed bug that when it does happen, btrfs then can end up in a state where the filesystem is unmountable without manually fixing it. > Can you collect SMART data (with smartctl) from the ssd? I did actually have a look, but to be honest, SSDs have pretty useless smart data overall. Mine's likely a bit worse than the average even. gandalfthegreat:~# smartctl -a /dev/sda smartctl 5.41 2011-06-09 r3365 [x86_64-linux-3.5.3-amd64-preempt-noide-20120903] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-11 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: OCZ-VERTEX4 Serial Number: OCZ-26W4VJ3SP32E1WC2 LU WWN Device Id: 5 e83a97 59be3b57e Firmware Version: 1.5 User Capacity: 512,110,190,592 bytes [512 GB] Sector Size: 512 bytes logical/physical Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 9 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Thu Nov 1 09:14:43 2012 PDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
