unable to mount a btrfs file system kernel 3.19.2

Hello everyone,

I have an issue with my ssd where a btrfs partition is located. I have a /dev/sdb1 in ext4 for the /boot, and the rest of the ssd is /dev/sdb2 which is the root of my Archlinux. When I boot, it hangs up after loading the kernel. So I tried with an Archlinux liveboot, and I have the same behavior with the following trace in logs when I try to mount the btrfs partition :

Is it a known bug? Or does someone have an idea about how I could fix this issue?

Thank you in advance.

This hang on mount was caused by a backported fix to -stable, which you probably caught after an update to 3.19.2.

The fix is in 3.19.5: commit 0187ad2b69a51a23924cd41f730e2d923535db80 in
https://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ChangeLog-3.19.5

So just get a fresh 3.19.5 (or directly 4.0) and it should mount again.

Hi Hugo, looking at the page again, I see
"bcache + btrfs does not seem to be stable yet" linking to a thread more than 2 years old and btrfs kernels that wouldn't be stable without bcache anyway.

I've seen others mention they switched to bcache recently and not seen new "it's broken" reports.

So, is it ok
1) to assume bcache and btrfs play ok together now?
2) remove the warning from that gotchas page?

Thanks,
Marc

I'm one of those that used to have problems with btrfs on top of bcache. After some corruptions, I gave up this setup.

Recently (from February, I think) I gave it another shot, and I have had no problems since.
I use bcache in writeback mode, with very good performance. I'm feeling btrfs very stable in this setup.
