Too little information. Is IO happening at the same time? Is compression on? Deduplicated? Lots of subvolumes? SSD? What kind of workload and file size/distribution profile? Typical high CPU are extents (your defragging not necessarily worked), and 'qgroups', especially with many subvolumes. It could be the fre space cache in some rare cases. https://www.google.ca/search?num=100&safe=images&as_q=cxpu&as_epq=btrfs-transaction To this something like this happens often, but is not Btrfs-related, but triggered for example by near-memory exhaustion in the kernel memory manager. -- 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
