Subject: Re: "kernel BUG" and segmentation fault with "device delete"

Hi,

I've done a few experiments and here are my findings.

First I probably should describe the filesystem: it is a snapshot 
archive, containing a lot of snapshots for 4 subvolumes, totaling 2487 
subvolumes/snapshots. There are also a few files (inside the snapshots) 
that are probably very fragmented. This is probably what causes the bug.

Observations:

- If I delete all snapshots, the bug disappears (device delete succeeds).
- If I delete all but any single subvolume's snapshots, the bug disappears.
- If I delete one of two subvolumes' snapshots, the bug disappears, but 
stays if I delete one of the other two subvolumes' snapshots.

It looks like two subvolumes' snapshots' data participates in causing 
the bug.

In theory, I guess it would be possible to reduce the filesystem to the 
minimal one causing the bug by iteratively deleting snapshots / files 
and checking if the bug manifests, but it would be extremely 
time-consuming, probably requiring weeks.

Anything else I can do to help diagnose / fix it? Or should I just order 
more HDDs and clone the RAID10 the right way?
