All,
I just had a btrfs oops with a default 11,4 kernel.
I haven't even tried a update kernel yet since I wasn't sure anyone would care.
Unless advised otherwise, my plan is to try the same test with a Tumbleweed kernel and open a bugzilla if and only if I get the oops there too.
And the award for the most useless bug report goes to... ;)
Seriously, though, btrfs oops are tough to track because error handling is currently implemented by BUG_ON, so the details are important.

Jeff,
As I understand it, the goal is to have btrfs be supported option instead of experimental in 12.1
If so, the Tumbleweed kernel seems to be about as bleeding edge as the factory one and thus a good place to test against.
If I'm wasting my time to create a opeSUSE bugzilla let me know and I'll work exclusively with a vanilla kernel and send my reports to kernel.org.
Nope, you're not wasting your time. We're definitely interested in bringing btrfs up to full speed. It's just that this report was "it crashed" and that's it. If you have an Oops, that'd definitely be helpful. The other issue is that some crashes would normally just be recoverable errors, but the error recovery code hasn't been written yet.
fyi: I'm working with a student doing GSoC. And the project is writing tests to test the snapshot features of btrfs (and possibly ext4+snapshots).
Oh, cool. I bet the btrfs project would be interested in including those with the archive.
fyi2: We have ext4+snapshots in a different kernel build, but we've done very little openSUSE specific testing to date. Hopefully I'll have something to talk about related to submitting that to you guys later.
Cool, I look forward to it. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SuSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
