3.2.1. =20 When I do btrfs scrub start / the machine locks immediately up hard. =20 Then usually on next boot it stops on space_cache enabled message, bu=

not the one for /, but the one for /home which is mounted later. =20 When I then boot with 3.1 it works. BTRFS redos the space_cache then while the machine takes ages to boot - I mean ages - 10 minutes till KDM prompt is no problem there.
I now tested scrubbing /home which is a different BTRFS filesystem on t= he=20 same machine. Then the scrub is started, scrub status tells me so, but nothing happen= s,=20 no block in/out activity in vmstat, no CPU related activity in top. btrfs scrub cancel then hangs, but not the complete machine, only the=20 process. I had this once on my T520 with the internal Intel SSD 320 as well. The= =20 other time it worked. Well maybe that is due to BTRFS doing something else on my T23 now: deepdance:~> ps aux | grep ino-cache | grep -v grep root 1992 5.5 0.0 0 0 ? D 12:15 0:09 [btrfs= - ino-cache] Hmmm, so I just let it sit for a while, maybe eventually it will scrub=20 /home. At least it doesn=C2=B4t lock up hard, so there might really be somethi= ng=20 strange with /.
