inode cache rebuild problem

[Shridhar Daithankar <ghodechhap@ghodechhap.net>]

Hello,

I have a desktop system with 2 disks, all btrfs, single partition. All of 
these partitions had 
space_cache,inode_cache enabled.

Linux 3.14 has broken resume on my desktop, hence I need to shutdown and 
restart the 
machine every time. 

But even on clean reboot, inode_cache was constantly being rebuilt on each 
boot. It 
caused kdm/X to timeout, even getty weren't spawned. I had to reboot it with 
ctrl-alt-delete, 
just to make it usable again. 2 out of 3 times, I had to reboot more than 
once, to make it 
usable.

While the disk was constantly grinding in the boot process, I ssh'ed into it 
from another 
machine and observed the inode cache overhead.

Hence I disabled both the caches on all the partition(yes, I know, space_cache 
will stick 
around), and the machine is lot more snappier and responsive than ever before.

I am running archlinux with 3.14.1 kernel.

Thanks,
