btrfs slow for virtual disks - warn_slowpath_common - stack trace

[Peter Maloney]

I have the same issue as described in this bug tracker, and I have a
stack trace:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689127

I would love to post my stack trace on the tracker, but it won't send me
a confirmation email for creating an account.

Windows 8 64 bit preview has been installing for about 1 hour and 20
minutes, and then around the time the install was done and the machine
booted, I found this in my syslog:
