Check which processes are running. It's quite possible that the installer script has started some btrfs maintenance (balancing and scrubbing).
Does that apply to a non-root partition? As I mentioned in another reply, Leap is on ext4 but I also have TW on btfs and it's mounted under Leap.
Depending on many factors, this can take half an hour or more. In the mean time, you should see a lot of I/O to your disks.
I don't think there is a lot of I/O, going by the top info I posted in another reply. And the hangup is now more than 90 minutes. Can I safely kill the btrfs-maintenance process? Should I first unmount the btrfs partition? And if I can't?
you probably cannot umount the partition as it will be busy. a reboot would be the only solution. but do you really need that drastic a solution? is the process causing you that much difficulty that you cannot allow it to continue for an hour or two? next time you do an "install", leave any not absolutely required processes to be added after the install is completed when you can revert changes safely and easily w/o harm, ie: mounting a partition not necessary for the install (easy to add after install completed). -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
