OK so Ronan, I'm gonna guess the simplest work around for your
problem
is to disable quota support, and see if the problem happens again.


Look at the output of the command proposed by Jeff:

This system was installed with Tumbleweed ISO and I did not change
anything in btrfs options. Hence, it seems that openSUSE is enabling
quotas by default. Now, I need to disable it and avoid triggering the
problem. What is the best way I can do this? Is it OK to do just:

btrfs quota disable /

? Or do I need to format and recreate btrfs without quotas?
Yes, you can just run `btrfs quota disable /` and it should work. This ironically reiterates that one of the bigger problems with BTRFS is that distros are enabling unstable and known broken features by default on install. I was pretty much dumbfounded when I first learned that OpenSUSE is enabling BTRFS qgroups by default since they are known to not work reliably and cause all kinds of issues.

If it doesn't happen again then it sounds like the reproduce steps
are:

a. enable quota support
b. do something metadata heavy workload that's also maybe hitting
fsync; from opensuse list the example that sometimes causes it:


  osc co home:Ronis_BR/julia
  cd home:Ronis_BR/julia
  osc build --root=`pwd`/jail openSUSE_Tumbleweed x86_64

I wonder if it's easier to hit it on a hard drive, slower fsyncs?

This sounds good! Actually, I'm using a 7200RPM hard driver.
