Hi guys, I noticed that now my snapshot take a long time to process :

more then 6 minutes to snapshot 4 gigs of data, that's twice slower
then kernel 3.6.

Is there any log or something that I look after ?

sylvain@gentootux ~ $ sudo dmesg | grep -i btrfs

What kind of kernel did you use? mainline kernel?

Thanks
