6+ MiB/s constant usage on a btrfs volume with kernel 3.16
Hi,
I'm using 64-bit Arch Linux. Since update to kernel versions 3.16 and
3.16.1 I'm getting a constant 6+ MiB/s write on my root. Root does not
seem to fill up though. Has run for 2 hours straight, and obviously
slows everything else down to a crawl.
Downgrading to 3.15.8 (last working version for me) solves the
symptoms. I'm unsure how to check for root causes, and my distro's
mailing list suggested starting here.
btrfs info as shown below, and this dropbox link[1] is a png
printscreen of my iotop and perf top. Please advise.
