[opensuse] btrfs-balance.sh locked my computer for 15+ minutes
Hi, So far I'm happy with Leap 15.0. The system felt stable in the last few days. But when I tried to login today, the system was very sluggish. It took me a couple of minutes to start atop and figure out what's going on. btrfs-balance.sh locked my computer for 15+ minutes I'm not sure whether this is a new script with Leap 15 or whether it was already in 42.3 or maybe disable. So I let it run once. When I started it again manually, it ran less than a second. But I would prefer it btrfs balance wouldn't freeze the system. Should I open a bug report with suse? Or on github (https://github.com/kdave/btrfsmaintenance)? Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a. Philmann Dark "It's not the universe that's limited, it's our imagination.

what I have wondered for many years and releases is, that when *not* using btrfs at all anywhere on a system, where and how do snapper and btrfs various scripts (.pl) come into the play here and why does it eat up resources, cpu etc when for example upgrading via zypper up, zypper dup, or applying kernel rpm, boot related scripts executes, grub2 loader scripts and all that. isnt snapper purely btrfs related or am I very wrong? why do btrfs named scripts get executed on ext only filesystem systems? is that a bad naming and wording of scripts and tools? is there more to this? besides all I heard about btrfs over the years was that it was riddled with bugs and quite a number of datalosses. i keep reading about btrfs nightmares and reinvention of dataformats and all kinds of scary stuff every now and then. select sources were strongly advising against btrfs in general and btrfs being a fail overall. there were people instead rooing for that other yet another fancy file system bcachefs claiming to be the better btrfs other people rooting strongly for zfs on linux. thanks for input. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
