Subject: Problems on previously perfect setup
Date: Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:14:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5319F075.7050903@gmail.com> (raw)
Recently (a week or so back) I started having those problems on my BTRFS
system
-------------
I. My setup:
-------------
SSD
/boot ext2 defaults 0 2
/ btrfs rw,noatime,compress=lzo,ssd,space_cache,autodefrag 0 0 (there
is a /home subvolume mounted automatically)
HDD
/mnt/Disk_D btrfs rw,noatime,compress=zlib,autodefrag,nofail 0 0
(I disconnected it, but it changed nothing)
--------------------------
II. My problems:
--------------------------
- 1 - . During random boots (seems to be a 50/50 chance) the system
won't boot, because it get's stuck on
[ OK ] Mounted Configuration File system
[ *** ] (1 of 13) A start job is running for dev-disk-by\.....
It will slowly cycle from 1 to 13, then come back to 1 to cycle again,
and again, and after three times, I get this:
Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\...
Dependency failed for /boot
Dependency failed for Local File System
The computer freezes and I have to shut it down by holding the power
button for several seconds.
- 2 - . My successful boot times extended considerably. I am using an
automatic login and X start without any DM. Before, I could hardly see
the login command line because it was so quickly covered by started
OpenBox session. Now it lingers several seconds while the disk LED is
working hard.
- 3 - . For the first 10-15 seeocnds after getting into OpenBox the
heaviest processes displayed by Conky are several instances of kworker.
Also, it might be an impression, but I feel like the starting almost
every program became sluggish.
--------------------------
III. Recent changes to the system:
--------------------------
Perhaps they could indicate potential suspects:
- upgraded kernel (now 3.13.5-2)
- upgraded btrfs tools (always using latest David Sterba's unstable
'integration' branch)
- did "btrfs balance /" because it had write erros due to no space even
though there was like 30GB free. After doing it, no space problem went away
Does anyone have any idea what could be happening?
