Hiya, yes, you''ll probably think that is crazy, but after observing better performance with btrfs in some work loads on md RAID5 than btrfs builtin RAID10, I thought I''d try btrfs on zfs (in-kernel, not fuse) zvol (on raidz) just for a laugh. While this procedure worked for ext4 and xfs, for btrfs, the mount hangs suggesting there might be something wrong with btrfs and/or zfs. Here''s what I''m doing: zpool create X raidz /dev/sd{a,b,c,d,e,f} zfs create -V 6T -o refreservation=0 X/Y mkfs.btrfs /dev/zvol/X/Y mount /dev/zvol/X/Y /mnt backtrace for mount: mount D 0000000000000009 0 2193 1761 0x00000000 ffff880401b4d9a8 0000000000000082 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 ffff880401b4dfd8 ffff880401b4dfd8 ffff880401b4dfd8 0000000000012a40 ffff8802092f0000 ffff88040ef7dc80 ffff880401b4d988 ffff88041fa732c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81109af0>] ? __lock_page+0x70/0x70 [<ffffffff81056e9f>] schedule+0x3f/0x60 [<ffffffff815e85af>] io_schedule+0x8f/0xd0 [<ffffffff81109afe>] sleep_on_page+0xe/0x20 [<ffffffff815e8dcf>] __wait_on_bit+0x5f/0x90 [<ffffffff81109c68>] wait_on_page_bit+0x78/0x80 [<ffffffff81081d80>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x40/0x40 [<ffffffffa041ab7a>] read_extent_buffer_pages+0x3ca/0x430 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa03eec40>] ? btrfs_destroy_pinned_extent+0xb0/0xb0 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa03f0daa>] btree_read_extent_buffer_pages.isra.62+0x8a/0xc0 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa03f2021>] read_tree_block+0x41/0x60 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa03f4735>] open_ctree+0xe75/0x1760 [btrfs] [<ffffffff812f2f64>] ? snprintf+0x34/0x40 [<ffffffffa03d1438>] btrfs_fill_super.isra.38+0x78/0x150 [btrfs] [<ffffffff811cf55a>] ? disk_name+0xba/0xc0 [<ffffffff812efbd7>] ? strlcpy+0x47/0x60 [<ffffffffa03d2806>] btrfs_mount+0x3c6/0x470 [btrfs] [<ffffffff8116ae13>] mount_fs+0x43/0x1b0 [<ffffffff8118565a>] vfs_kern_mount+0x6a/0xc0 [<ffffffff81186a54>] do_kern_mount+0x54/0x110 [<ffffffff811884f4>] do_mount+0x1a4/0x260 [<ffffffff81188990>] sys_mount+0x90/0xe0 [<ffffffff815f27c2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b 3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 13:27:26 UTC 2011 x86_64 Best regards, Stephane -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
