Subject: System completely unresponsive after `btrfs balance start -dconvert=raid0 /` and `btrfs fi show /`
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2015 23:21:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <C1BFF62A-9C2E-4A5D-86F9-7F01DDDF8BF6@paolino.me> (raw)

Hi all,

I have an home server with 3 hard drives that I added to the same btrfs filesystem. Several hours ago I run `btrfs balance start -dconvert=raid0 /` and as soon as I run `btrfs fi show /` I lost my ssh connection to the machine. The machine is still on, but it doesn’t even respond to ping: I always get a request timeout and sometimes even an host is down message. Its fans are spinning at full blast and the hard drives’s led are registering activity all the time. I run Plex Home Theater too there and the display output is stuck at the time when I run those two commands. I left it running because I fear to lose everything by powering it down manually.

Should I leave it like this and let it finish? How long it might take? (I have a 250gb internal hard drive, a 120gb usb 2.0 one and a 2TB usb 2.0 one so the transfer speeds are pretty low) Is it safe to power it off manually? Should I file a bug after it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Carmine
