http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1017461 Bug ID: 1017461 Summary: btrfs balance renders system unresponsive and eventually even kills WiFi Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: suse@bugs.jan.ritzerfeld.org QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I installed openSUSE Leap 42.2 with btrfs as root. Now, performing a btrfs balance or a snapper cleanup takes "ages" while there is no or little disk activity but btrfs or btrfs-transaction constantly hogs one CPU. There is plenty of unallocated space (28 out of 40 GiB). The system becomes very unresponsive and even loses its WiFi connection until next reboot. Thus, btrfsmaintenance will nearly kill my system every week! After disabling btrfs quota everything works fine! Thus, enabling the experimental btrfs quota feature for snapper was a really, really bad idea. IMHO this is critical bug, if it happens to other user. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
