Is there any correlation between such problems and BTRFS operations such as creating snapshots or running a scrub/balance? Back in ~3.10 days I had serious problems with BTRFS memory use when removing multiple snapshots or balancing. But at about 3.13 they all seemed to get fixed. I usually didn't have a kernel panic when I had such problems (although I sometimes had a system lock up solid such that I couldn't even determine what it's problem was). Usually the Oom handler started killing big processes such as chromium when it shouldn't have needed to. Note that I haven't verified that the BTRFS memory use is reasonable in all such situations. Merely that it doesn't use enough to kill my systems. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
