Hello,
I recently migrated my system to btrfs on two drives (spinning)
configured as raid1. When writing to this filesystem, the system shows
some weird behaviour: it starts off with writing to both drives
simultaneously for a few seconds, but after that it starts writing to
the drives one after another: the system writes first to one drive while
the second is idle and then it writes to the second drive while the
first is idle.
During this time all IO to the filesystem seems to hang. This means the
system is unusably unresponsive during large writes and the overall
write speed averages out at about 30MB/s.
Any help is appreciated,
Henning
