On re-boot I noticed the following, may be relevant? The btrfs set-up was done by YaST in the installation, using defaults (apart from the selection of btrfs itself) Sep 8 10:37:33 linux-d8t5 kernel: [ 41.604165] btrfs: free space inode generation (0) did not match free space cache generation (310) Sep 8 10:37:33 linux-d8t5 kernel: [ 41.604170] btrfs: failed to load free space cache for block group 1103101952 Sep 8 10:37:33 linux-d8t5 kernel: [ 41.604185] btrfs: free space inode generation (0) did not match free space cache generation (343) Sep 8 10:37:33 linux-d8t5 kernel: [ 41.604189] btrfs: failed to load free space cache for block group 5398069248 Let me know if other log-files are useful, but I will attach the standard y2log anyway. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Can you please attach the messages from syslog? The initial report does not contain all messages (just some fragments interleaved with other terminal output). (In reply to comment #0)

Using 12.1 M5 on elderly P4 machine, 512M RAM, and working the file IO hard with searching, sorting etc.

This not a widely tested hardware with btrfs :)

I am not sure how serious this is but since btrfs is new I think it worth reporting.

It's not that new, but it's still experimental (backups etc).

Nasty looking syslogd messages at ? random intervals (~ 1 per hour)

I'd like to seem, plus the kernel version which you're running (I can see there is 3.1-rc7 on Beta1) or any preceeding message in syslog like "btrfs update block group failed for" (can be found in function alloc_reserved_file_extent mentioned in your report) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I will try again when I get the chance but I won't be in the office much this week. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have an old HDD that I can put in and try again with M5 or is 12.1 GM more appropriate? Please advise before I re-do the installation. Actually, I am not too sure I still have the M5 files, I may need to use GM anyway. Is that any use? I will have a ferret around to see what - if anything - I still have from pre-release. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
