Hi guys, Sometime ago, a BTRFS developer (Chris Murphy), which was helping me to fix a bug, warned that quotas must not be enabled by default in BTRFS because it is not stable. He actually sent a message to this mailing list: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-09/msg00032.html However, some openSUSE developers contradicted Chris, specially Richard Brown: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-09/msg00085.html Hence, nobody took the advice and quotas were enabled by default in Leap 42.2. I am sending this message because I think it is necessary to rethink this decision. A very annoying bug that I was having in all my openSUSE machines (Leap and Tumbleweed) is actually caused by quotas. Every week, when the maintenance script is started, my systems become unresponsive for almost 30 min. I mentioned it here but received just one answer: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-09/msg00130.html Today, I saw a bug reported by Jan Ritzerfeld describing exactly the same behavior and mentioning that disabling quota fixes it: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1017461 I tried, and I can confirm that the bug is indeed fixed by this workaround in Leap and Tumbleweed. My server, which was recently updated to Leap 42.2, started to show those freezes. Notice that quotas were not enabled in 42.1. Hence, I think we must revisit this subject as soon as possible.
