Hello,

during my testing of btrfs I found out, 
that deletion of directory with many files (many millions) takes veeeery 
long (it is running two weeks now and did not finish).

But when instead of directory I create subvolume, it is deleted instantly.

Is it normal behaviour? (gentoo 2.6.34-r1, btrfs-progs-9999).
Why the directory cannot be deleted instantly as well?

Thank you

Lubos
