Don't be - the only reason why I'm running btrfs at this point is to test and hopefully help out improving it by reporting the problems I'm running into. :-) Thanks for the suggestions! * Chris Mason > We can code a fix for the balancer problem quickly, but you might > have a hard time recompiling it and getting it on that box. > > If this data is critical we'll write something up. There's no critical data on this filesystem, it's only used for my Fedora installation. Won't take me long to re-install from scratch if that's what it takes. All og my important data (home directory) is on NFS. Using NFS I can easily get new versions of btrfs-progs onto the box with the hosed btrfs, too. So if you meant to code up the fix as a band-aid only for me, don't bother (but thanks for the offer)! On the other hand, if you wanted to get such a fix into btrfs-progs anyway I'll be happy to test it out for you.
