Is the snapshotting still read-write? You mentioned earlier that you treated the snapshots as read-only, so maybe create them also as read-only, in an attempt to mitigate the problem of growing metadata and enospc issues. Also, If some part of the OS or tools scans through the snapshot dirs every now and then with atime creation on, metadata grows without a real need. -- 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
