Hello,

To cancel use 'btrfs scrub cancel /'.

I came the same issue before and i sent a patch for this:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3264051/

This patch has been merged into David's integration branch.
You can pull from:

https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs.git integration-20131206

you can use:
# btrfs scrub start -f /

This should help, -f will force us to skip check in userspace.

Thanks,
Wang

Hello Wang,

I am on Fedora 19. I just checked, I don't have -f as option in
btrfs-progs. The installed version is:

btrfs-progs.x86_64                  3.12-1.fc18         @updates

current kernel is 3.11.9-100.fc18.x86_64

I just wanted to know if its not dangerous to have this state of FS
since I will wait for the update to come from the repo rather than build
package myself

Thanks!

I think one way to slove this problms is:

# rm -f  /var/lib/btrfs/*

This will remove scrub status record file, and then you can start scrub 
again.
