Subject: Re: btrfs random filesystem corruption in kernel 3.17

As these to machines are running as server for different purposes (yes,
I know that btrfs is unstable and any corruption or data loss is at my
own risk therefore I have good backups), I want to reboot them not more
then necessary.

However I tried to bring my reboot times in relation with corruptions:

machine 1:

d????????? ? ?      ?         ?            ? root.20141009.000503.backup

reboot   system boot  3.17.0           Thu Oct  9 23:20   still running
reboot   system boot  3.17.0           Tue Oct  7 21:25 - 23:18 (2+01:53)
reboot   system boot  3.17.0           Mon Oct  6 22:47 - 23:18 (3+00:31)

For this machine, corruption seems to have occurred for a snapshot
created after a reboot.


machine 2:

d????????? ? ?    ?      ?            ? root.20141006.003239.backup
d????????? ? ?    ?      ?            ? root.20141007.001616.backup
d????????? ? ?    ?      ?            ? root.20141008.000501.backup
d????????? ? ?    ?      ?            ? root.20141009.052436.backup

reboot   system boot  3.17.0           Thu Oct  9 21:31   still running
reboot   system boot  3.17.0           Tue Oct  7 21:27 - 21:30 (2+00:03)
reboot   system boot  3.17.0           Tue Oct  7 17:51 - 21:26  (03:34)
reboot   system boot  3.17.0           Sun Oct  5 23:50 - 17:50 (1+17:59)
reboot   system boot  3.17.0           Sun Oct  5 23:47 - 23:49  (00:01)

During the next days, I will setup a virtual machine to do more tests.
