Does btrfs still slow down the system until freezing, when doing snapshots of the sys subvolume? I never used btrfs again. Imagine, you set a cron for hourly snapshots, and what you get is 2 minutes of freezing every full hour 🙈 I never had that kind of trouble with other snapshotable file systems as sys volume.
What year did you use btrfs?
5-10 years ago it was a mess. It is way better now.
Never experienced that before. I have been on openSUSE for 9 years now, snapshots are pretty much instantaneous.
Never had this. It's pretty much instanteneous.
I may try again some day, then...
This can happen when gquotas are enabled, thats why gquotas are not recommended with snapshots
I'll dig into that.
