lee,

A couple of thoughts about your .26 lockup:

- I assume you are on the same hardware with 27.

- Are you using a module or builtin btrfs (I build it in).

- It looks like you are using vmware... when I'm doing kernel
stuff I want to be on the iron, not trusting virtual machine code.
(people who use vmware tell me they have to rebuild vmware stuff
even when they apply kernel patch distro updates)

- Compare your .26 and .27 configs, changes to default io sched
or vm etc. can hurt or help you.
