I'm not seeing the same problem, but I've experienced something similar: As you might know, I had serious performance problems with btrfs some month ago, after that, I switched to ext4 and had other problems there. Last Saturday I decided to give josef's current btrfs git repo a try in our ceph cluster. Everything performed well at first, but after a day I noticed that btrfs-cleaner was wasting more and more time in btrfs_clean_old_snapshots. When we reached load 20 on the OSDs I rebooted the nodes, everything was back to normal then. But again after a a few hours the load started to rise. My solution to fix this for the moment was, to turn of the btrfs snapshot feature in ceph with: filestore btrfs snaps = 0 Now I have good performance, low waitio values on the disks and I haven't seen our btrfs warning until now as well. I don't know what the implications are (does this enable writeahead journaling in ceph?), but to me it's the only setup that does the job at the moment.
