Yeah could you try and bisect where the problem starts happening? 3.9.2 was the only stable version that had btrfs patches in it, so if you could test 3.9.1 and then 3.9.2 and see if the problem is in either of those that would be good, then we can be sure wether its even related to the btrfs patches that were sent back.
