btrfs crashes after removing drive that is written to and failed mount until btrfs-zero-log afterwards
Hi! Has a developer fixed this issue in the meanwhile? I did it just again today. I overlooked Dolphin´s "device is busy" message and unplugged it again. I had to reboot, a mount attempt failed, I had to reboot another time, after btrfs-zero-log it worked. I have traces available but I think this has been reported several times. Expected results: BTRFS fails gracefully except the loss of data from writes in flight, the machine remains usable and BTRFS can be mounted again. Ideal results (IMHO): Linux behaved like AmigaOS and told me that I *must* insert the device again and *continues* writing after I did this. I write a different mail also to linux-kernel about this.
