Under the last several kernels versions (4.6 and I believe 4.4 and, 4.5) btrfs
scrub aborts before completing.
If I boot back into an older kernel (4.1 or 4.3, not sure about 4.2) then it
runs to completion without any issues.
Steps to reproduce:
1 - make a raid1 system
2 - run with only one disk for awhile to introduce inconsistency
3 - add the other disk back and run btrfs scrub
The newer kernels will get part way through the scrub and then die. For
example, with 4.6
# btrfs scrub status -dR /

The kernel logs show nothing other than the standard "no csum found for inode
..." and "parent transid verify failed ..." messages
Then booting back into 4.3 and rerunning the scrub.
