Hello, Recently I added daily rebalancing to my cron.d (after finding myself in the no-space-situation), and not long after that, I found my PC had crashed over night. Having no sign in the logs anywhere (not even over network even though there should be) I had nothing to go on, but this night it crashed again after starting the rebalance, and this time there was some information on the kernel log.
Kernel version: 4.2.3 (package linux-image-4.2.0-1-amd64 version 4.2.3-1 from Debian Unstable) The dump is available at: http://www.modeemi.fi/~flux/btrfs/btrfs-BUG-2015-10-55.txt The log is available as well (stripped some unrelated USB- and firewall logging, showing that last evening there was some kernel task hung for 120 seconds; but it's in another btrfs filesystem and is another story): http://www.modeemi.fi/~flux/btrfs/btrfs-2015-10-55.txt I'm not quite sure which of the btrfs balance commands caused the issue. But there is my script: #!/bin/sh fs="$1" if [ -z "$fs" ]; then echo usage: btrfs-balance / 0 1 5 10 20 50 exit 1 fi fs="$1" shift for usage in d m; do for a in "$@"; do date; /bin/btrfs balance start "$fs" -v -${usage}usage=$a; done; done And it was started at 07:30 with: /usr/local/sbin/btrfs-balance / 0 1 2 5 10 20 30 50 70 I should add that the filesystem in question is backed by MD RAID10 and that is backed by four SSDs, so it's reasonably fast in IO, if that affects anything. There should have been no much competing IO at the time of the occurrence. Before Duncan asks ;-), I only have a moderate number of subvolumes and snapshots, ie. one subvolume for each of /, /var/log/journal and /home, 24 snapshots of / and /home plus <10 snapshots of /. Before that balance there was another balance on a another BTRFS RAID10, but given the time stamp I think I can easily say it wasn't the cause. I don't really have other 'solutions' than disabling the rebalancing for the time being, and only use it as-needed as I had earlier done..
