flush-btrfs-1 doing 1MiB/s (avg) writing on idle system??
Dear BTRFS devs,
still trying to find the cause for https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12309 i stumbled over the strange fact that the flush-btrfs-1 thread is writing about 1MiBps constantly onto my root fs, even after turning off io-prone BOINC and NTOP.. there are other threads doing minor IO but that seems unrelated.

I have uploaded an archived blktrace for about 10 minutes at

and the resulting diagram is

marcel ;)
