Just curious - how big is your btrfs partition?
I have a ~500 GB btrfs since some months, and had a few cases where one of the btrfs-* (IIRC balance) cronjobs (actually timers) made the system mostly unusable for some minutes by causing a high IO load. Is this a known issue, or should I report a bug if/when it happens again? (I'm aware of boo#1063638, but I'm not sure if it matches my problem, and given the number of comments I slightly ;-) doubt if adding even more comments there is a good idea ;-)
Yes, that sounds *exactly* like boo#1063638 but you are right, one more "me too" comment will not help to solve it any faster. I myself tend to run all my systems as well without a dedicated home partition on the first disk so same as Richard is proposing now. However, this will make boo#1063638 more likely for even more people. Let's see how that will play out ;) But also could be that I experience less issues after I trigger snapperd itself with IO niceness, see https://github.com/openSUSE/snapper/pull/437#issuecomment-429993992 maybe it helps. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
