You could try this (maybe you have already) and see if and where the problem is in btrfs: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key Instead of pipe to gzip you could do: | btrfs receive -vv <some btrfs mount> and trace back at which file the freeze happens. Maybe that tells something about the source filesystem. -- 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
