Hi :-) A few days ago I encountered a kernel bug while copying files to an encrypted filesystem. The specific stack for the filesystem is: btrfs-on-crypt-on-mdraid. Vasts amounts of data copied without problems (about 6.3TB with 1.1 TB remaining), but when copying a certain directory, the kernel bug surfaces. I repeatedly deleted the affected directory and tried to re-copy it, but it always fails at the same point (or close to that). More recent test showed that I could copy a few more files to the filesystem to a different directory, but it very quickly failed there as well (a few megabytes later). After talking to the btrfs devs on freenode (as btrfs is the most experimental thing in the stack, they came to the conclusion that it's most probably the crypto layer. Some details: gentoo kernel 3.2.1 (custom config and ubuntu config) mdraid: linear, 4 disks, each 2TB (total 8TB) crypt: setup via cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain64 -h plain -s 512 -d - create tempraid /dev/md/tempraid_lin I'd appreciate any help with this and would be happy to test patches or provide more debug info.
