for Snapshot 0131, the kernel was updated to version 5.5.0. The test fails with 'no space left' on the disk. Considering that this test runs on VM with HDD configured for 40GB, this is unlikely to happen.
I reproduced this locally in a VM (based on the not-published snapshot). After the machine was up for a while and I keep on installing programs (while monitoring the disk usage) I saw an immediate jump at one point from 31GB free storage to 0 bytes free. After running btrfs balance, the 31GB where quite immediately reclaimed.
Guys, any ideas what could break btrfs this way in 5.5?
A known bug, caused by v5.4 kernel where metadata over-commit behavior changed. The fix is already in David's tree, would be sent to upstream in next pull request. SLE kernels aren't affected yet. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
