Hello:
A while ago, I posted questions about my linux system stuttering. Since
that time, I have determined that what is called "btrfs scrubbing" is
getting out of control, almost as if the system was eating itself. The
problem would get worse and worse, until finally the disk read LED was
on solid, but keyboard and mouse were completely paralyzed. Only a hard
power reset OFF would cure this problem, but the filesystems would have
to be checked for any trashing that occurred due to the sudden
unexpected power off.
Has anyone experienced this problem with their btrfs drives ? I am
curious to know as if this a rather unique problem or not? During power
down, this last time when I noticed the disk read light growing ever
brighter and brighter, that the power off sequence halted and did a
special terminate task for btrfs scrubbing which took about 3 mins to
accomplish, but even then, the disk light was lit for at least 2 mins,
even after that task completed before finally doing the total BIOS reset
and power up again.
Thanks for letting me know if this has happened to you?
Randall
