I've just started playing with Btrfs, and I'm getting a log full of kernel warnings that look something like this:

They tend to arrive in groups of 4-8 warnings very close together, separated by 15-20 seconds without a warning. The workload was encoding a video from another filesystem, onto the Btrfs filesystem. It's quiet when there's nothing accessing the filesystem. The filesystem is 19GiB in size, residing on LVM-on-RAID-1 on a 2.6.29-rc4 kernel. It was created on 2.6.29-rc3, 20GiB in size using btrfs tools 0.18-ge3b0f66, and shrunk online to its current size. I haven't found any similar reports on the mailing list, which means either I've got something unusual, or something so blindingly expected that nobody's bothered to mention it. I suspect the latter, but I'm reporting it in case it's the former.
